Domed
stadium in
New Orleans,
LA. Primary tenant is the
New Orleans Saints team in the
National Football League; other regular events include
Tulane University football and the
Nokia Sugar Bowl game. Seats roughly 78,000 for football; holds the world record for indoor
concert attendance with 85,000 for a
Rolling Stones show.
The Superdome was originally conceived as one-upsmanship to Houston with its Astrodome; the original idea was to lure a major league baseball team to New Orleans with it, and one of the things they still brag about is that you could fit the Astrodome inside the walls of the Superdome. The baseball team never came, but the Superdome's schedule is so full that clearing 81 dates for home games would be impossible anyway, so everyone is satisfied.
