Description: The Louisiana Superdome has hosted six Superbowls--more than any other facility of its kind--three NCAA's Final Fours and more Saints games, Sugar Bowls and star-studded events than imaginable. Built in 1975, the Superdome is better than ever. 
The stadium covers 13 acres and reaches 27 stories at its peak, 273 feet above street level. The Dome covers the world's largest steel-constructed room unobstructed by posts, encompassing 125 cubic feet of space. Home of the New Orleans Saints, the Allstate Sugar Bowl Classic, Tulane University Green Wave Football, the Bayou Classic and the Sugar Bowl Prep Classic, the Superdome is recognized as a titan among sporting venues. In addition to hosting Superdome sporting events, the Dome excels in producing concerts, family shows, convention/trade shows, stage productions, exhibitions and nearly every type of mega-event. Non-sports activities account for 60 percent of the dates scheduled at the Dome. The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Eric Clapton and Britney Spears are just a few stars who have graced the Dome's stage. The Superdome has four 19,000 square-foot ballrooms, 53 separable meeting rooms, three dining rooms and a television studio. It also houses many offices. A 5000 car garage accommodates vehicles daily for workers in nearby office buildings. The Superdome is connected by ramp to the New Orleans Centre Mall, the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, and the Poydras Plaza Office Complex. Two additional ramps connect the Superdome to the 18,500 seat New Orleans Arena, which opened in October, 1999.
