Louisiana Superdome Information

Louisiana Superdome
1500 Sugar Bowl Drive • New Orleans, LA 70012

The Louisiana Superdome has hosted six Superbowls--more than any other facility of its kind--three NCAA's Final Fours and more Saints games, NOKIA Sugar Bowls and more star-studded events than imaginable. Built in 1975, the Superdome is better than ever. Home of the New Orleans Saints, the NOKIA Sugar Bowl Classic, Tulane University Green Wave Football, the Bayou Classic and the NOKIA Sugar Bowl Prep Classic, the Superdome is recognized as a titan among sporting venues.

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 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.

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.

Weather
The temperature inside the dome averages 64 to 72 degrees depending on the venue being hosted with things warming up the most for football games. Outside fall in New Orleans is warm and usually dry.

Concessions
Popeye's fried chicken, which originated in New Orleans, is sold here, but the rest of the choices usually run toward standard stadium fare.

Parking
Parking is available in a garage on stadium grounds, or you can easily walk to the stadium from the downtown area. Traffic is not all that bad around the stadium because many people do walk.
