Caesars Superdome, Multi-purpose stadium in the central business district, New Orleans, US.
The Caesars Superdome is a multi-purpose stadium in the central business district of New Orleans, recognizable by its circular form with a steel and concrete domed roof structure. The building holds roughly 75,000 visitors across multiple tiers arranged around a central playing surface.
The stadium opened in 1975, replacing older sports venues in the city. It served as an emergency shelter during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 for thousands of residents who lost their homes in the surrounding area.
The facility serves as home to the New Orleans Saints and draws large crowds on game days wearing team colors. On weekends, concerts and other events transform the space into a gathering place for people across the Gulf Coast.
Arriving early on event days is advisable, as the building sits in a dense urban neighborhood with crowds converging at the same time. The stadium features multiple entrances and elevators to help reach upper seating levels more easily.
The Superdome has hosted eight Super Bowls, the most of any stadium as of Super Bowl LIX in 2025. The first was Super Bowl XII in January 1978, the first played in prime time. Its original artificial turf, made by Monsanto, was named "Mardi Grass".
