Buy your tickets on Ticket Exchange 2 hours before kickoff. If you are a nervous nellie and can't do this because you "need to secure your tickets before making other arrangements" than you will overpay by a factor of 2 or 3 times and don't deserve advice on the other matters

Parking - plenty of lots around superdome area, never had an issue with parking
Pre Post Game - pre game walk on's or champions square
post game quarter and normal spots closer to quarter
Seat Geek is your best bet and get the app
Stadium tips - get their earlier this year due to construction - saints and pels concessions are much better than most pro venues I've been to

Are you driving in?

Get there a few hours early and park on the street in the Warehouse District and walk, you'll be fine.

Its not tailgating culture per se, but there are lots of spots that will be active pre game. Walkons for one will be pretty active.

Post game places like Lucy's are pretty fun if the Saints won.

I would garage park these days, I don't want to drive home to BR with a broken window... its worth the garage parking price. I'd even consider parking at the Casino garage. We use to park in those lots off Decatur, the walk time plus drive time was less than parking at the dome. We would often grab food before or after the game in that area anyway.

Parking, barrone or any of the side streets on the west side of loyola are free and usually safe.

Allegros used to be the spot. May still be a decent spot to knock back a few bloody Mary’s. Walk ons is usually slammed. Champion’s square is not bad.

Post game, head to the quarter.


Tickets, get them on the exchange. Don’t buy from someone on the street. My advice, wait until about 10-15 minutes before kick off for the best deals. I’ve gotten playoff tickets from the actual box office at cost doing this.

I would aim to get there around 9. Dunno if you are interested in this but Bobby and Mike D set up outside of the dome. Always cool to check them out. Also the saints do an autograph session every week at the saints HOF. Just check to see who’s signing. It’s free, just stand in line.
