no they cant, they have to keep some ramps because in a power outage they need wheelchair access to exit the stadium.

that disability access limits it

Where are the ramps now? I sit in the 500 section and there are no ramps to exit. They funnel everyone into narrow stairwells to walk down several flights of crowded stairs. I brought an elderly relative to a game last year. The only thing they offered to those unable to navigate the stairs was to wait for a single elevator (all escalators were turned off (and are turned off every game for exit)). The lines were terrible and the elevator was used to empty the media level first before ever even stopping to pick up a few at a time.

That is the one thing they needed to fix, the media elevator situation.

That media elevator is small and it is a single elevator to carry all local and visiting media from the 700 level down to the field level for post game. Someone told me that out of all 32 teams, the Saints press box elevator situation was the worst in the league.

I can remember when the press box was on the lower level and there was a lunch/banquet room where the media would gather, now it is a just chow line up in space with the rafters, and you walk back to your seat to eat. You are also on the top of highest seats in the Dome.
