Does New Orleans need a new stadium?

I was watching them discuss the selection process and they made it sound like the Superdome being outdated may have hurt them

Are these the same folks who think we let all of our best players go in free agency?

No. Minny used the same "new state of the art" argument against Indy.

Its foolish you even ask this. The dome just went through millions in renovations in recent years. $85 million in first 6 months of 2011 and $336 million since 2006. Its not happening anytime soon.

I used to think so, but not now. The improvements are great (although there's more to do). The exterior is one of the most magnificent sights at night in sports.

Bounty - gate.
Pure and simple, the NFL was not going to be seen rewarding the Saints.

The Superdome is a new stadium in the shell of a 40 year old architectural wonder.
Anyone who thinks the Saints need a new stadium is a fricking idiot. The Superdome itself is a draw for the Superbowl. Newness does not mean better. The Superdome's place in the American mind will always have it close to the top of American stadiums. Use your history as a resource and strength.
My God should we tear down Commanders and Galatoire's so we can build a new Bonefish Grill because Nashville built one?
Morons.

I was not surprised when they awarded it to minn. It has nothing to do with what the city offers, but if the city offers the latest and greatest facility. Like the other posters who hit the nail on the head, there is no point to building a new stadium for one super bowl.
The dome is an icon. It means so much to the city and region. The renovations done over the past several years put it right up there with new stadiums. Only thing that needs to be done is replace all seats in the terrace and loge end zone, upgrade those restrooms, new screens, etc. the saints are exploring a center hung video board similar but smaller to dallas.
It does not take much investment in the dome to compete with the latest and greatest.

After the Superdome was renovated after Katrina I didn't think so but then I went to Seattle and saw that state of the art facility. I immediately commented it made the dome look like a dump. It even had incredible design features.
