I thoroughly enjoyed it before the game. They definitely needed something like that and it should only get better. I plan on going before every game. Good food/drinks/atmosphere.

Words dont describe this artwork. Especially when the lights were on when we left the Dome, i felt like i was leaving the Staples Center in LA

Know what it feels like to be a champion

Agreed when we were walking out we were speechless, only small gripe is that I expected the stage to be bigger. But in the grand scheme of things they did an absolute amazing job.

Anyone who went there pre-game how were the food prices?

According to the Times Picayune, the prices were one of the only problems...cocktails as much as $12, a moderate basket of chicken and fries for $8, small soft drinks and water were $4 each...
Doesn't sound too high price-wise if you've ever been to the Dome

Yea, that doesn't sound all that unreasonable when you consider stadium pricing. As long as the food is decent I wouldn't mind paying that for a quick bite on gameday.

You're not supposed to, but I think it could be easily snuck in.

There is security if you want to call it that. We walked in no problem and some people were walking around with beer they had brought. Its a really nice area and is really well done.

I think they were mainly looking for glass bottles. We walked in with plastic beer bottles from outside of Allegro's, and they didn't say anything to us.
