The Caesars Superdome is the unmistakable domed landmark of downtown New Orleans, home of the Saints and one of the most storied indoor venues in American sport. Its steel-framed roof spans a 13-acre, 680-foot-diameter bowl, making it one of the largest fixed-dome structures ever built. The building's fixed roof and enclosed bowl trap crowd noise, turning Saints games into a wall of sound for opposing offenses. Its Bourbon Street proximity and Mardi Gras-adjacent culture give game days in New Orleans a party-city character unlike anywhere else in the league.
Opened as the Louisiana Superdome in 1975, it has hosted a record eight Super Bowls -- XII, XV, XX, XXIV, XXXI, XXXVI, XLVII and LIX -- more than any other venue. It has also staged six NCAA Men's Final Fours, most recently in 2022. The building became a global symbol of the city's resilience after serving as a shelter of last resort during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and its emotional 2006 reopening, capped by U2 and Green Day, remains one of sport's great comeback moments. Renamed Caesars Superdome in 2021, it continues to anchor major events in New Orleans.
