The superdome is one of the better sports venues

You have the original jerry world smack dab in the middle of downtown. You can walk from the FQ to the dome, hotel to the dome, cbd to the dome...it is just awesome to have that kind of place in a metropolitan area.

Now a few things. The surrounding downtown area is in desperate need of improvement. There really isn't much to do downtown or in the FQ. That is the number one draw no other facility can really match. Additionally, facilities like jerry world are going to be the norm, but I think they've done a great job keeping the dome up to date.

As a stadium, it is a marvel that has stood the test of time, and not just as a football venue. New Orleans will keep drawing Super Bowls and big events there so long as it is kept in great condition.
