Money well spent. I took a walk through the plaza and sat down there and liked what I saw. It was still crowded but not gridlock traffic as in the past. I passed the Dome cafe....whats the food like? I have not eaten there in 15 years. I may eat there at halftime next preseason game.

After all the major events take place in the next couple years, I hope that they come up with a plan to renovate the terrace. THe seat frame next to me was literally rusted over, the urinal in the bathroom backed up, water pressure in the sink was bad. New seats, bathrooms, perhaps put a party deck at the top of the dome opposite the press box for all the drunks. I saw on the news that dome mgt is looking into ideas for the future....hopefully in involves the blue collars.

I thought the plaza concourses and the bathrooms were nice, Lots of room, I like going to the bathroom and/or concessions and feeling like your in the game...what I didnt like was my new seats under the overhang in Sec 135. I used to be on row 11 in sec 138 on the 10 yardline, in lights, in the game close to the field, now I'm on row 31, in the corner, in dark, I can only see one replay screen, although there are 2 tv's right in front of me, I just feel disconnected compared to the way I used to feel in the game. I guess I'll get used to it for this year and then hopefully I can put in a request and move my seats next year.

Very underwhelmed by renovations. We sit in the plaza end zone. Concourse is no wider and bathrooms are no different. They moved our seats without telling us. Would it have killed them to put cup holders on the seats?

I visited a friend in the plaza and he was ticked about this. All his buddies he made friends with the past 5 yrs are scattered everywhere.

yep thats how it was for us....all the people I used to sit by were scattered....everyone in the new section were just kinda looking around at each other sizing everyone up...it was funny...no one knew each other.

Do they still have those hyper color seats or did they all get switched out?

They told everyone when you got your tickets. You didn't use the Saints Website to see what they looked like now?

No, they did not. They gave us the same seat numbers which were 8 seats towards the corner of the end zone. They moved people all around us that new nothing about being moved. It is a shitty way to treat your customers.

I hope they painted the field blue. It would make Harper look faster.

The concourses are nice. The sound system sounded especially horrible last night, couldn't understand players' names, etc. It looks like some of the speakers hanging from the center are gone, but I may be imagining things. The seats on the loge level were also covered in dirt/dust from the construction so a bunch of people had black shite all over them when they stood up.

The dome looked great. I was very impressed with the plaza level.

Anyone visit the plaza end zone last night? I didn't think those seats were really moved.

They couldn't really move them. They got rid of the walls blocking the view from the concourse and put up glass.

From the terrace it looked like they were moved closer to the field.
