Planning on visiting Nola for Chiefs at Saints

Howdy Saints fans! Me and a crew are planning to visit your great city this year to watch Pat Mahomes duel with Jameis Winston (just kiddin). Where would y’all recommend staying and sitting at The Dome that won’t totally break the bank? Should be an awesome game! I’ll probably be reppin the Dustin Colquitt jersey! Hope we can go

Just get something in the terrace (600's) in between the 30's.
I'm not a fan of live football, but the environment is amazing and the 600's is where it's at.
ETA: wait...are you a chief's fan? End zone corner...real high. Best seats in the house.

Will be great to see how the dome compares to Arrowhead, hard to beat the experience in KC. Went to Jerryworld for a Cowboys game and it wasn’t nearly as good

It really depends on what you want for your rest of the time outside of the game.
What is the age makeup of your crew? What are you guys looking for?
The strongest part of the Dome is that it’s not out in the middle of nowhere, it’s downtown right in the middle of everything. Walking distance and Uber distance to anything you’d want to see.
I’d stay in the Warehouse District or CBD. There’s quite a few hotels in that area that are nice of varying prices, tons of the better restaurants and bars in the city, and walking distance to FQ. You can easily Uber to Uptown, MidCity, And Bywater/Marigny. And walking distance to the Dome!
I personally would not Stay in the FQ.
If you look at Airbnb’s, run the location by us. Some areas can go from good to absolute shite within a block.
Tell us what you’re looking for! Happy to help.
Would be happy to give you a bunch of restaurants based on your groups makeup and budget.

Here's the truth:
If you are a Chiefs fan you will incapable of comparing them in an unbiased manner.

There are some nice small boutique hotels and BNB spots toward the Esplanade side of the Quarter. As long as you are not shitehoused at 3AM on Bourbon or some dark alley then everything should be fine.

Jerryworld has a better stadium, the super dome has a better atmosphere.

Mayor C says "the game between Saints & Chiefs will Never and I mean Ever kick off in my city"!

Could probably give better suggestions if you give us some details like if you have kids or if want to party until 5:00 am.
Hyatt Regency and Hyatt House are right next to the Dome and make for an easy walk to the Dome. I’d avoid the French Quarter and look more at the Warehouse District. Wherever you are, get a go cup from the hotel bar and drink on the walk to the Dome. Better yet, walk to Rusty Nail, grab a few and then walk to the Dome.
I’d suggest the Food & Drink Board for suggestions on breweries and restaurant.
Done is a great atmosphere. Just don’t be an arse and people will be cool to you. Most seats are pretty good except the upper corners and first 10 rows or so of the lowers.

TBH, there's really no bad seats in the dome.
Don't skimp on a hotel. Do the right thing and stay in a good hotel within walking distance of the quarter and the dome. The great thing about New Orleans is that most of the best stuff for tourists to do is all within walking distance of the stadium. What few things you can't walk to are a short uber or streetcar ride away. It's possible to do New Orleans on a budget, but trust me, do it right the first time.

Mid to late 20’s, guys and a few of their girlfriends. Definitely pumped to go to the dome. Will be awesome if it happens

Oh cool! Hope you have fun!! You should definitely check out New Orleans East. BEAUTIFUL that time of year. Let's just call it our little hidden gem!!! In fact, don't even go to the game - it's overrated. Go watch it in a random bar in the east. TRUST ME.

Stay at the Le Pavillion Hotel if you have girlfriends. Usually can get a good advanced rate. Walking distance from Dome, Casino, and French Quarter.

I hope you get in and watch the Chiefs get skull fricked. Although, I have a feeling there will be few fans in attendance if any due to the Chinese Virus. Also, the mayor of New Orleans is a count.
