Why are these black and white? Hell the building broke ground in '71 yet these pictures would make you think it was during the Great Depression.

I agree with you. My best guess is that it is a Times Picayune newspaper reporter photo, and, the paper only paid for black and white still photo film for their reporters.

You'd think that the Superdome would have had its own Public Relations people out there taking color publicity photos of the project, but, people in NOLA did not do things that way back then.
