I understand the state deal with Benson included 85 million for Superdome renovations this year. Anyone know exactly what it is they are renovating ?
More Suites ?

They are going to be completed prior to the 2012 season, in time for the 2013 Super Bowl.

They include widening of the concourses - specifically covering the open areas behind the sideline bleachers and making that a wide open concourse - as well as installing new seats. I believe the improvements witll slightly increase capacity also.

There will be new video boards, a new area with an open air restaurant, a bunch of new vendors (so long Dome dogs ) and somehow adding more seats. I have no idea how it will be done but that's some of the shite they threw out last year.

They are connecting 4 seats to the sky cam so lucky fans can hoover above the field during the games zipping around like a carnival ride. Okay thats not true...that I know of, but would be bad arse.

God I hope they put new vendors in that place. The food absoluty sucks. Hopefully Rotolo's can get their shite together and have enough pizza, at least for the first half of the game.

That would be the most baddass seat ever.

As stated earlier they are widening the plaza level concourse areas, removing the moving seats in the plaza and replacing them with new ones. They are building out the area under the plaza seats and calling it the bunker club. They are also moving the press box area to the top of the terrace. The area that was the press box will be built out with new suites. They are updating the aduio capabalities of the facility. They are also moving the Saints locker room making them bigger and more up to date. The bunker club area will also have a direct entrance in from the parking lot. The original budget was 85 million the winning bid came in around 36 mil. However the bid was thrown out and it will be rebid in about a month.

What would be really cool would be new video boards like Dallas has.

Also they will have the new shiny gold skin done by next season and have the 2006 lighting back (its off right now for construction)
In addition the Plaza will be totally redesigned adding new seats and better viewing angles.
