Certain people act like the Superdome is one of the best sports venues.....

out there today. Sure the Superdome has hosted a shite ton of Super Bowls, NCAA Final 4's, and the Sugar Bowl but in the grand scheme of things it's probably a middle of the road facility compared to whats out there today. It's not in the top 1/3 of NFL facilities even after the upgrades after Katrina. I am by no means saying it is terrible, quite the opposite. All i'm saying is it is not the world class facility that people make it out to be now. The city of NO is a world class place to have Super Bowls and Final Four's but they need a new facility to keep up the rotation of holding huge sports events. Cities are building world class facilities left and right and pretty soon N.O. will be left in the dust with an aging facility.

What makes the Superdome and New Orleans a great spot, is that once you arrive in the city you never have to drive your car again

Not sure why I posted that at this hour but the thought just popped in my head.

It is the location and not the stadium. New Orleans is a top notch place to party and Gameday is awesome being able to walk from the party to the game and back. It isn't a hard concept.
As a contrast Jerry World is on the outskirts and not downtown.

Eh I agree. It isn't up there with all the brand new stadiums. But what you don't realize is something it offers that most other places don't. The stadium is in the middle of the city. In even walking distance to almost anywhere you need to be when a big event like he Super Bowl is in town. Not saying no where else is like that, but on top of that the party atmosphere adds to it.
I got to chauffeur around and even attend parties at the last Nola Super Bowl with a celeb. Like you hear everyone say, she always commented about how it's always everyone's favorite city bc they can attend different parties and be close to everything. She said in most cities they have to choose a certain party and that's it because is 45 minutes away from everything else. The proximity is what keeps Nola a steady destination for events.

Based on all the facts you have proving that assumption?

I have been to Jerry World and it ain't got shite on The Dome and New Orleans.
The stadium is cool, but you are only there a few hours.

Believe it or not location is a major factor. Don't believe me, go build a world class venue in Death Valley (California).

Dafuq?
AT&T Stadium beats the shite out of the Superdome in every conceivable facet. Not even close
And I'm not one of those guys who looks for reasons to rag on venues, either. Homer take on your part, breh

The whole point is it isn't about the fricking stadium. You are there for like 3 hours. Big fricking deal. It is the pre event and post even activities that make the experience.
I admit the Stadium is cool, but it ain't that cool to be on the outskirts of Dallas.

And by the time the super bowl weekend is done, hopefully insurance will have replaced your stolen car.

N.O. as a city for event hosting is world class but you have to admit the Superdome as a facility is not bad but not great either. Like I said it's not in the top 1/3 of NFL stadiums.

It's in that shithole Arlington, so there's a win for the Superdome.

Austin would be a great spot to build a world class stadium.
Just adding to the random OP
