Only 8 teams have stadiums that were built before 1995. Of those 8:

rams: getting new stadium
Raiders: getting new stadium
Bears: most consider it a “new” stadium
Dolphins: major renovations
Packers: ain’t goin nowhere
Chiefs: ain’t going nowhere
Bills: heaping pile of garbage

Do you think we’ll ever get new digs or will we be destined to endless rounds of renovations? Personally i would love a retractable roof stadium right in the same spot.

Dome will be there for another 15 years or so at least.


if they ever did new, it would have to be a blow up and rebuild in same spot IMO.

Will never happen. Tide has turned on using public money for frivolous stadia. Plus the state hasn’t had any excess cash in my lifetime.

The Dome is A great venue and should be renovated at times to keep it modern. Keep the Dome. You also have to consider with retractable rooks as to whether they are bad hurrican proof.

Superdome won't last forever. Where would another stadium be built?

The Dome is a top 15 stadium in the NFL.

You might be able to open the roof 1-2 games a season. It's not worth it. I know I don't want to sweat my arse off on a Sunday afternoon.

I hope not. It is a special building and I think we've seen the NFL bubble burst. team revenues will probably start dropping soon.

Both of those stadiums have had massive renovations done to them to the point where they are modernized now.

Thats the main issue. There isnt enough available land to build somewhere with enough room to have suitable parking.
