In the year 2014 it shouldn't take a Super Bowl to get modern scoreboards. We are talking about the most powerful sports league in the world, where almost every franchise has valuations in excess of a billion fricking dollars. There is no excuse for not having modern scoreboards and enough bathrooms to piss in without Joe Saints Fan's pissing dick 12 inches from Mike Saints Fan's About-to-Piss-his-pants' waiting dick.
Get our shite together, New Orleans.
As much as I like the dome, it's reaching the point where new stadium avenues must be explored. I think the superdome has reached critical mass in terms of being able to be renovated/upgraded. More space is needed in the concourses, better plumbing and ingress/egress to the stadium. A lot of the "fixtures" just seem to be dated.

They put close to a billion into the dome in the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing wrong with as someone who has been to a good bit of other stadiums in the nfl

I would sell every day game ticket if it was open aired. That heat at 12 in September, no thanks

quote:disagree. Everyone wants the new "toy." However, the Dome has had hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations. Couple that with the external improvements like Champions Square, and I do not think a "new stadium" should be discussed for another 12-20 years.

Couldn't agree with you more. You can't expect an NFL team to play in an old stadium. Get it together, New Orleans!
Signed,
Soldier Field and Lambeau Field
Edit: Seriously, New Orleans will continue to get SBs, just not every single one it wants...and, even if it's put back into "Super Bowl probation" like it was in the early 2000s (and like San Diego and Miami are now), then the question is simple: does the massive cost to the city and state of building a new stadium justify getting the occasional Super Bowl?

In the terrace, you could make an argument. That's about it.

care to expand on this?
that is a "problem" at any stadium when you have 60k people coming and going at the same time.

Not sure how it is elsewhere, but I can leave my seat in 205 at 0:00 and be at my friend's house in Lakeview in like 25 minutes tops.

This affects you how? I have no problem with the Dome. I get in and out of it in less than 10 minutes at it's busiest.
