As the superdome gets a $85 million makeover I was just curious on what was the thoughts on the best venue for a BCS bowl/championship game? I have only been to the Superdome to watch LSU in the Sugar and BCS championship. Just curious on how it compares to the Orange, Rose, and Fiesta for those that may have experienced those other venues. Rank em if you like.

1. Rose




2. Fiesta
3. Sugar





4. Orange



I'd put several stadiums above the Fiesta or Sugar, honestly, but the Rose is one of a kind.

Rose Bowl just broke ground on like a $185 million dollar renovation. Edit: It's $152 million


But I'd say Rose and maybe Fiesta (since its nice and new) are the best venues.

Rose is the best BCS venue and it's not even close and never will be.

The Jerry Dome is the best. Cotton Bowl is the best BCS Bowl.

The Fiesta and the Orange are probably the best since they are newest and most up-to-date.

If you are just speaking of facilities, the Fiesta

If you add in intangibles like tradition, history, goosebumps etc, then the Rose

If you add in other factors like the city leading up to the game for the fans... Sugar is right up there or maybe the best.

New Orleans provides unmatched entertainment value for the fans during all time not spent in the stadium.

The new configuration will allow the addition of 3,500 new seats on the ground level and construction of a new "club area," with 4,500 large leather seats with cup-holders -- including a private club for the use of those ticketholders.
maybe I'll finally come up in the Saints season ticket queue...

The Rose, Fiesta, and Sugar are all great venues.

The Orange is awful.
