If the Saints contract is extended, they will get 85 million for upgrades, what the hell are they going to do to upgrade that stadium?

They are going around the outside of the dome and replacing the exterior metal shite.

Widening Plaza level concourse (forgot how wide but I remember it being at least tripled), moving press box to Terrace level in order to add more suites, reconfiguring plaza level seats to improve site lines and adding about 3700 seats, adding concession stands and bars, adding additional club area under the plaza level seats.

Those were the plans that were announced when the new deal was announced last month. I think it is all supposed to be complete by the start of the 2011 season.

That was already going on the past few months. Theyre going back to the original gold exterior.

In addition to what the other guy said, theyre going to be using a lot of the 85 mil on things surrounding the dome.
Supposed to be doing a lot to improve the tailgating around the dome and revitalizing the entire area.

Theyre also supposed to add a couple thousand more seats in the corner of the endzones that will extend out closer to the field

I read somewhere (probably here) on the internet that they were doiing this but haven;t seen it anywhere in print. I assumed it was just rumor. Where did you here this? Is is true or just hearsay?

I hope they give the outside a facelift, I'm tired of that look, but just cleaning up the surrounding area period would be nice, it looks a mess around there.

I wish they'd give more space between the rows of seats. Last time I went to a game, my knees were perma-imprinted into the back of the head of the person sitting in front of me.

If the g-damn building is gold, the roof should be black.
