Same spot. Creates more value by being near the quarter. People come to events at the dome expecting to be able to go hit the quarter.
I also hope they use a similar design or something just as distinctive instead of a cookie cutter design.
You may hate the Dome but it is a recognizable landmark across the country.

Say goodbye to Super Bowls. CFP national title games, or Final Fours then.
NOLA gets marquee events like that because everything is within walking distance from downtown hotels....the dome, restaurants, convention center, French Quarter

No its not. Traffic is already bad enough

There's an old power factory next to Mardi Gras World, pretty iconic, smoke stacks are still standing (I believe). Build a riverboat-looking stadium, rebrand as the Gamblers, set off the smoke stacks every TD.

By the river at end of convention center. Unfortunately they are already working on the area.

Bingo. It's the new orleans saints, not the Hammond Saints.

Woldenberg Park on the river. Bulldoze a bunch of shite around it.
Or go somewhere else near the quarter where there is a ton of crime and bulldoze some shitty stuff.

I have had the pleasure of walking from the CBD to the Eastern edge of Kenner, so yes, the city is greatly walkable.

I'm staring at the Dome as I type this. Anywhere other than the current location would be a sin.

Why do people say this? I hate driving downtown and having to park wondering if my shite is gonna be broken into. Not to mention the fricking traffic and hassle. What positives does a downtown stadium offer?

Are you serious?
People like to fly into the city for these big games and such and love being able to walk to bars, restaurants, hotels and games.
I remember when the superbowl was in Miami several in the media taking about how much of a pain in the arse it was to have to drive/ride out to the stadium to cover stuff.

Hundreds of restaurants and hotels within walking distance for one

What's wrong with the dome?
Keep it where it is.

When done perfectly and integrated into vibrant, functioning neighborhoods, they're the best. The problem is that most stadiums built in the last 75 years, even in cities, aren't like this. They were built with interstates next door or acres of parking and office space and no character or street level retail. Superdome is like this.
The alternative is the suburban stadium, which has morphed from being in the middle of nowhere/somewhere undesirable (Silverdome, for example) to having their own fake neighborhoods built around the stadium (see The Battery). In some cases, both - like Arlington's stadiums over time going from really undesirable (in location) to decent due to tons of money pouring into the development.
But New Orleans has no other option IMO. The location isn't awesome in the sense it's Wrigley tucked into a neighborhood, but it's walkable. They could rebuild it so it's not such a soviet monolith disconnected from the streets, but as I recall there are a lot of bland (but not about to be torn down) office buildings and such nearby.

Well the Pelicans new Arena should be going by the old factory on the river front so that means any new stadium should simply be built leveraging both the area the NOLA Arena currently occupies and the dome.
Would also really need to think about light rail updates to tie in both with a bow.
This would require some forethought and courage though.
