Disagree. New Orleans is all about culture and mystique, two of the Superdomes finest qualities. Even if we were to build a new stadium, I would absolutely hate if it looked like a corporate spaceship. I guarantee there would be history and class written all over it.
Atlantas new stadium looks pretty cool, but it will be just like Jerry World, flashy with no heart.

I think that it is way too soon to say it will have no heart. There are many new stadiums that "have heart" and to be honest I think that it will be a true new beginning for the team. I have never liked the Dome and never have felt like it is "Home" for the team, granted it does get loud as hell and there is a pretty good home field advantage there.

I just see the new stadium as fitting Blanks vision much better.

Is it one of them new-fangled invisible hearts?

Cause I didn't see it in the video.

It's ugly as frick, so no I wouldn't want it. I'd like something that actually looks like a football stadium, not some fake corporate garbage.

What exactly does fake corporate garbage look like? Does it resemble anything like a giant Mercedez-Benz logo on the entire top of a dome?

Boom!

The Mercedez-Benz logo has a long and storied tradition in New Orleans, so no.

Boom! Check mate. Match point. I got the point. I win. End of game.

That's a sponsor, and naming rights. The building is unique to the city, and doesn't have to overdo things to be flashy. The new falcons stadium resembles nothing of a football stadium, and I personally find that the top of it looks like an a-hole. I've already stated that it will make loads of money, will host major events, but the place has no soul to it.

If I liked the stadium, I would say it. This could be a stadium for the Broncos or Patriots, and I would still say it's over the top and ridiculous.

I would check back around the NFL again before making that kind of statement. Mercedes is one of, if not the classiest venue sponsor in sports today. When you have stadiums sponsored by ketchup like Heinz Field and Univ of Phoenix in Arizona, don't see how anyone could make the argument against it
