yes. I was in the Superdome for the Saints/Falcons game and in the Georgia Dome for the LSU/UNC game. Georgia dome had way more room/comfort. It's not as cramped as the Superdome with better restrooms and more space on the concourses.

I used to live in NOLA.. and there are a LOT of aspects of the city I consider to be world class..

the Superdome is not world class, sorry buddy


When's the last time you've been? They've done some major over-hauling and are just starting on other major renovations. The building is almost 40 years old and yet it still attracts the biggest event on the planet. It will NEVER be Jerryworld but it's still a world class facility.

Lets face it. The Superdome was at the top of its class when it was built.. Its kinda like Joan Rivers, no matter how much you do to make it look good its still old.

All being fixed. Wider concourses and better restrooms are on the way and will be complete by next year's BCSCG. The leg space I'll give you.

Dude give up, the Superdome is garbage (and yes I've been in the past year). What everybody has said about it on here is legit, and I know you say it's being fixed, but you've already claimed it to be a world-class facility which it simply is not. My biggest problem is how far away the seats are from the field, and that can't be solved. I've never seen a football stadium with the lower level sideline seats so far back from the field, it's absurd. Not to mention the second level hangs so far over the first that if you're sitting towards the back of the lower level (especially in the end zone) you lose sight of punts and long passes. It's almost comical. And then you have the upper deck. I think most seats are closer to the moon than the field. Just for reference, while I've been to both many times, I've sat on row two of the upper deck on the 50 in the Superdome and I've sat three rows from the top corner endzone in the Georgia Dome and I felt about 10 times closer to the field in those Ga Dome seats. I love NOLA dude, but calling the Superdome "world-class" is a joke. Neither are world class, but the Georgia Dome >>>>>> Superdome.

I live in NOLA.. I have seen the superdome many times and been it as well.. The only thing I did like was the Restaurant that was at it but closed after after Katrina.

The Superbowl wouldn't keep coming back if it wasn't.

Also, in this next phase of the renovation they are moving the lower level, get this, CLOSER to the field.

Super Dome is putrid. GA is not great, but its better than the Super Dome. Neither would make a top 10 list of NFL stadiums. The Super Dome is in the bottom half of NFl stadiums.

DING DING DING!!! Finally someone said it.


And by the way, I'm born and raised in New Orleans. The city is a great place to have it because of the wealth of things to do and drink....but I just got back from Glendale, and that was a cat daddy stadium.

Eh, I can't say I agree with this. Well, the Joan Rivers part, yes, but not the old part. Look at Ohio Stadium or The Big House.
