Champions Square, Event venue in Central Business District, New Orleans, United States
Champions Square is a large outdoor venue in New Orleans' Central Business District designed to host concerts and public events with significant capacity. The space features stone pathways, permanent restrooms, LED lighting, and food service areas with direct connection to the Caesars Superdome next door.
The site was a cemetery from 1822 until 1957, and then became a shopping mall for decades. After Hurricane Katrina closed the mall in 2005, the area was reimagined and developed into this public square.
The space is closely tied to the New Orleans Saints, with game days creating gathering moments for fans before matches begin. Live music performances throughout the year make it a social hub for the city's entertainment scene.
The square is easy to navigate and offers plenty of space for walking around, especially during events and gatherings. Being directly connected to the Caesars Superdome makes it simple to combine a visit with other nearby activities in the district.
A broadcast studio for WVUE-DT television sits in a four-level balcony on Benson Tower overlooking the entire square. Sports programming is produced from this vantage point, capturing events happening below on the grounds and at the neighboring Superdome.
