It's a domed stadium in a warm city with personality. It's not much to understand. Hurricane season isn't in February so that whole part was not necessary lol
And the fact that the Louisiana cost is slowly disappearing doesn’t make sense either. It’s a Super Bowl which is 1 time of the year. Not living there for the next 50 years.
Facts
Who want to be at cold game super bowl
@@DiorDexico However that would be considered when building a new stadium. With the Superdome getting older it will inevitably need to be replaced.
@@jeeveey ITS not getting replaced in the decade as it even with the fire is in the process of a 450 MILLION renovation
I’ve never thought of asking this question, but now that there’s a fivepoints video about it, I must know.
Yes but this is most of his vids
Same, always enjoy 5s vids.
That kinda sucks for you. I never heard of five points until this video....and this is dead wrong. It's opinionated. They hold the Superbowl because the Superdome is huge and holds the second highest seating capacity aside from Dallas Cowboys stadium. That's the answer. The person making this video is either dishonest, or looking for clicks and views by dramatizing things. What else did you "learn" from this garbage?
@@dbsti3006 I agree with you. Video is super biased and the Superdome regardless of its age, is still the best nfl venue in the league. Not only that but Nola is a great, fun, city with tons of culture. I’ve been to Vegas many times (I have family that live there) and it’s overrated. Vegas is fun to go to once to see all the lights and stuff and then it gets boring. Lots of old people go there on vacation to gamble and imo not a big desert fan. Nola is the best.
The Super Bowl keeps coming back, because it's like herpes.
I'm sorry to be That Guy, but 10 New Orleans Super Bowls would be about 18%, not 5.5.
guy pointing at his head meme: *Maff*
I was confused asf
He obviously wasn't an accountant in his prior life 🤣🤣
Was about to also be That Guy. Thanks for doing it first
It had me wondering if they've been 182 superbowls to date
Superdome probably has the craziest history out of all the NFL Stadiums.
New Orleans has so much history. At least the NFL doesn’t go against its history it has created
LOL, San Diego and St Louis call bullshit
@@enthusiastofcute St. Louis didn’t support crap dude lol.. they didn’t care
@@enthusiastofcute Still don't get how moving to a city where you can't even fill a stadium roughly the size of an NBA arena, then having to rent space from a better NFL team that fans also don't really give a shit about, is a sound financial move.
@@ZiggyZou They cared, it was simply just that the team was horrible for more than a decade.
@@ZiggyZou They cared, except they dont have Stockholm Syndrome and werent going to support a trash owner
Anyone who has spent more than five minutes partying on New Orleans knows that there was no reason to make this video. I've spent large chunks of my life in both New Orleans AND Las Vegas, and I can tell you without any doubt which one is the REAL Sin City. Vegas is Disneyland by comparison.
Well, sadly that will be coming to end. I have no doubt that by the end of the century the City of New Orleans will no longer exist. It is only a matter of when not if New Orleans gets swallowed by the water.
@@thephoenixxm4160 Vegas might be the same in half a century though due to the complete opposite, all the water will have dried up in Lake Meade.
@@thephoenixxm4160 Vegas might be gone before New Orleans. Some recent estimates show Vegas will run out of water before New Orleans is swallowed up by water. A lot of things are going to change.
@@cfredtmbg Vegas, Phoenix, & SoCal. With coastal restoration projects currently in progress around Greater New Orleans, and the fact that the new hurricane protection system just stood up to a powerful hurricane is proof that N.O. will be around a lot longer than people think. Miami will be under water before N.O. because it's not protected from the sea.
Absolutely love this city. Nola is my favorite
5PV: "What is the infatuation with this particular city? Your first reaction might be: because of the Superdome."
My ACTUAL first reaction: "...because it's New Orleans."
Fun fact: of the city's three pre-Superdome Super Bowls played outdoors, two of them were colder than the one at the Meadowlands.
Which ones were they
@wilderac VI (39°F) and IX (46°) as opposed to XLVIII at 49°.
@@TPTGopher they got lucky with the Meadowlands super bowl. They got a snowstorm less than a day after that game.
@ErikCB91243 I'm also pretty sure it was the first mild day after a stretch of historically miserable cold...and to be honest, I was kind of disappointed, because I liked the idea of cold Super Bowl.
The weather was actually colder in the days leading up to SB IV. Two days before the game, the local paper had a picture of Len Dawson in front of his hotel's fountain. It was frozen solid. It warmed up considerably by game day. Anyone who's spent anytime in New Orleans knows that the temps can fluctuate wildly during winter. I had days where I'd start the morning working in short sleeves, then a cold front would blast through during the day and I'd finish my route wearing a jacket and a wool cap. In fact, the whole week before SB IX, the weather had been in the 70's. A cold front came through in the early morning hours of game day.
My dad and I visited Nola once when I was in high school. He fell in love with its history and inner-beauty and made many more visits until he passed. Therefore new Orleans will always hold a special place in my heart. As for the NFL? No clue
The Superdome is one of the nicest Stadiums I’ve ever been to. When you go inside it, it feels like you’re in a Huge Spaceship. It was built way ahead of its time like Arrowhead Stadium was. These brand new Stadiums don’t impress me at all. Plus, the next door Mississippi Coast is so nice and a fun region to visit!
I haven’t been in any of the newer stadiums, but I go to Saints games 3-4 times a year… and I feel like the Superdome is underwhelming as a building. The city is too charming & it’s always a party. However, I think the Superdome is made by the atmosphere of the city. The place is absolutely NUTS when at full capacity.
I went to NOLA in 2018 for Wrestlemania and I fell in love with the city. It's so alive and fun and everything is walking distance. It's like nothing you've ever seen. Had a great night on Bourbon street. I think it's more fun than Vegas (and yes I've been to Vegas)
You’re seriously lucky my friend.
Exactly on the walking distance thing; just park your car in a well lit, secured parking garage or lot & get to walking & having fun with some comfortable shoes on. No other city can say that.
Only a trashy alcoholic would take NOLA over LV.
@@ATalkingBadger lol for real, New Orleans is trashy and it's nowhere close to Las Vegas
And you can get food and drinks for reasonable prices. $100 for a night out actually goes a long way in NOLA it barely gets you anywhere in vegas
Shorter answer: bars, bars and more bars.
Than go to Vegas or Miami lol New Orleans is a shit hole 🕳
@@moneyonfleek305 "Than" lmao shut up
@@caseyjazz7256 nah hes right lol New Orleans is trash
Fuck bars. Creighton. Especially the ones with your people in them
Bars are all the same. Overpriced Drinks served my Pricks. No thanks. I’ll go to the 711 and buy my own 12 pack of Beer.
Also New Orleans has the most lenient alcohol laws in the country.
As long as the Superdome ain’t literally falling apart, New Orleans will always be a perfect Super Bowl host. Now and for years to come.
Los Angeles (it will be), New Orleans, Las Vegas (it will be), and Miami will be regulars for years to come.
Well NOLA is the best city I have ever visited. I absolutely love it. The cuisine, the history, the folklore, the charm, the party scene, everything.
Very well said
Robert Kraft likes the massage parlors in New Orleans
Nah, that's why they go back to Miani. This is why they go back to New Orleans. 😂
If only he spent more money on offensive linemen instead of hand jobs this season
Math correction:
They have hosted 10 of the 55 Super Bowls that have been played.
That's 18.2%, not 5.5%.
The quick answer is: because at least the booze flowing in New Orleans is a happier time than it is in NY
Reference: New York Giants and New York Jets.
Super Bowl IX in early 1975 was supposed to have been held at the Superdome, but it wasn't finished in time, so it was moved to Tulane Stadium.
I can't wait to come back to this video many years later when Vegas holds more Super Bowls
yeah i hope that becomes a reality
You really think RUclips will be still be around in about 60 years?
Well, I don't know about that. What disturbs me about that is the fact that the NFL has not scheduled a Super Bowl for Las Vegas yet. Usually for new stadiums the NFL schedules a Super Bowl years in advance yet the NFL did not do so for Vegas. They decided to give the Super Bowl to LA, Arizona, Tampa Bay, and New Orleans rather than Vegas.
@@thephoenixxm4160 they probably didn't anticipate to be Allegiant Stadium to be done besides the Raiders had a to play another year before moving in 2020
Las Vegas is just a Dry dump full of prostitutes and Meth Heads
I'll always appreciate a shout-out for Planes, Trains and Automobiles... an excellent movie that people should watch in their lives.
I’m from New Orleans, and I have to say tour it. The food is amazing, there’s Mardi Gras, always busy, and the style looks good.
10/10 place to go
The Steelers were supposed to be in the Superdome for Superbowl 9 but wasn't finished yet. So they went to Tulane stadium
I’ve been living in New Orleans for 21 years we are one of the most passionate small market teams in the NFL the only downside is hurricanes that’s it “50 year old dome” I don’t see anyone wanting to rebuild lambough field right? There’s no reason to build another one and where would they put it
For 50 years, The New Orleans Saints have been almost always not the team to get to the Super Bowl, assuring a neutral field at the Superdome.
Lambeau. That's like the rest of us calling it the Sooperdohm. Jesus.
I like that 5 points kept in his "the gulf of new mexico" blunder.
Plus the 5.5% error at the beginning.
As a native to New Orleans, I promise you it’s the best city in the world. It’s worth traveling too as long as you don’t fall for some tourist traps.. it’s such an amazing culture.
As a Niners fan I found that Levi's Stadium joke funny 😂
> 4:00 < Levi's Stadium
Opening line: "The Super Bowl has been held in New Orleans 10 times. That's 5.5% of the Super Bowls in NFL history."
Umm... I know this isn't a math channel, but 10 divided by 55 is 18.2%
Jim Plunkett tells this story about when the Raiders played Superbowl 15 in New Orleans. "We got there and Tom Flores gave everyone on night to get it out of their systems, the Problem was some of our guys had big systems."
Thankfully, they had John Matuszak out every night to "enforce curfew."
Much as I would love a Super Bowl in Denver (Empower Field is sooooooo great), the big downside would be the accomodations you mentioned. The airport is practically on the other side of the city, there aren't too many hotels near the field, and the walking distance to downtown Denver from the field would be a lengthy one for most people, at least from what I remember of that stroll. xD
Don't forget the weather in Denver in early February is absolutely brutal
@@FireboltPrime true. They could probably deal with the airport(especially with the rail line to the city) and hotels in downtown could be used for the Super Bowl but they could never have the game in February weather in Denver
@@metrofilmer8894 I lived in Denver for 2 yrs during the mid 90s. In my 1st February there was a day where the low was 21 after snow storm came thru then the high was 70 once a new system came in. The unofficial weather motto apparently is "Stick around, it'll change". They might get as lucky as NJ was & have a moderately cool day
Stapleton Airport (before DIA was built) was actually closer to Downtown Denver (about 16 minutes compared to 32 minutes for DIA) before the city decided to say “fuck it. Let’s move it to the outskirts.”
It was for a good reason. There’s a ton of good history why the Denver area needed DIA instead of Stapleton.
Today, “Dicks Sporting Goods Park” and “The Shops at Northfield” now sit on the former Stapleton site.
I’m FROM New Orleans and every time I wanna see the snow I go to Denver for New Years or Mardi Gras
It keeps coming back to New Orleans because the Superdome is still the second largest sports arena in the country. The larger the seating capacity, the more money the NFL makes on ticket sales. It's that simple. Thanks for your analysis anyway.
I’m from New Orleans let me tell you why the Super Bowl comes to New Orleans so frequently.
1.) great weather in February when the rest of the world is still dealing with winter (remember the super bowl in Dallas
2.) Bourbon street is a ~10 min walk from from the stadium
Literally the only reasons why major sporting events come to New Orleans
Allegiant Stadium: *deep breath* take a rest dad, I'll carry this one for a while. Get right and I'll see you soon.
I say we should have one in full on snow haha...
I want to see a Buffalo blizzard Super Bowl once in my life
Or Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
@@728huey that would be so cool
@@DepravedCoTApologist yea imagine 😳🤯
"There are only three cities in America- New York, San Francisco and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland." - Tennessee Williams
Yea the superdome is almost 50 years old, but it was so futuristic when it was built that it still holds up. That and they have been constantly updating it over the years, especially after Katrina. Probably have spent close to what it would cost to build a new stadium on those updates. It doesn't feel old or outdated at all.
Also, New Orleans isn't loosing all that land, the surrounding areas are. New Orleans is just a city, not that whole section of the state of Louisiana.
I'll have to watch this later. But your vids are always great. Have a pre-emptive like.
Did this dude say 10 is 5.5% of all the super bowls? Have we had like 190 Super Bowls?
It's closer to 50.5 I think he misspoke.
@@supersasukemaniac nah.. it’s really not. Do you think we’ve had like 21 Super Bowls? (Are people really this bad a percentages?)
@@brianmiers5234 It doesn't really surprise me that people in general are pretty much useless at arithmetic beyond the simplest addition and subtraction.
I know how FPV got 5.5%. I don't know why, though.
10/55=0.1818... (~18%)
10/55= _1/5.5_ aha! that must be _5.5%_ 🤔 🤦♂️... 🤦♂️....🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Cool video man. I honestly never even gave it much thought. Very interesting!
Oh I can answer this without even watching the video. It's the same reason international treaties keep getting signed in Paris: it's a big party city.
Final Four is scheduled for New Orleans, its 6th time since the Superdome opened (also hosted in 1982, 1987, 1993, 2003, and 2012).
They've had Wrestlemania there twice too.
“There is New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans, everyplace else is just Cleveland’- William Burrows
Actually it's Tennessee Williams who said that, but it's a great quote nevertheless. It was a different time he lived in though.
One answer: New Orleans knows how to throw a party.
My dad took me to Super Bowl IV when I was 10. We were one section over from where the Vikings balloon crashed into the stands. Outside of that, my most vivid memory was Pop constantly griping about the tickets being $15 each. How times have changed! :)
Damn I usually skip your promos but I actually checked out “cuts” pretty nice stuff they got. Just got a hoodie and long sleeve shirt for winter! Thanks dude
Thank you for confirming the fact that I'm *WAY* too much of an introvert for New Orleans.
They'd probably peg me as a Squidward within fifteen minutes if I ever set foot in the city.
I remember when I was a kid it seemed like the game just rotated between New Orleans, Miami, San Diego, Tampa Bay, and the Rose Bowl. In retrospect it was one way to ensure the game was at a neutral site. Throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s three of those teams almost never got close to the Super Bowl, one always seemed to miss during the Marino years, and one didn't have an NFL team.
LA had the Rams didn't they?
@@Z64sports they were in st louis
Did he just say 10/55 is 5.5 percent? Because based off of 9th grade math it’s 18.1 percent
I did a double-take at that. Unless the next Super Bowl is CLXXXII.
Its now 11/59 they will host Super Bowl 59
Lived in New Orleans for six years and during Katrina, there is no city like it in the United States. People don't realize how much the city loves the Saints, i've never seen anything like it.
Thanks for making the correction on denver. Its been bothering me since i watched that other video lol
"Bought that shit for pennies on the dollar" LMAO......So funny to frame The Louisiana Purchase that way thanks for the video FivePoints that made my day.
Total coincidence: I was thinking this same thing last week. The Superdome "seems" like an old venue, but, they've had a lot of practice hosting the Super Bowl.
Well it's a party city, decent weather, dome stadium
You should ask why they keep coming back to Miami, to Jo Robbie Stadium, or what ever they are calling it this year. It has held numerous Super Bowls as well
Hmmmmmm, Miami or New Orleans? That's like asking do I want pizza or roadkill. Miami is light years a better city than New Orleans
Miami is 10X times the city New Orleans is lmao not even close!!! Miami has the best night life in the country clubs everywhere and they dont close till 6am and plus south beach 🏝
New Orleans is trash bro glad i moved
The Super Dome and US Bank are the only remaining dual use stadiums in the NFL. The Super Dome was originally build for football and baseball.
I think there should be a regular rotation of sites. Say there are about 8-10 places that can logistically host a Super Bowl, based on requirements for the stadium and host city, then you don't have to worry about taking the time bid and each location can plan ahead for future games well in advance.
I know the NFL passed a policy a couple of years ago to where each new stadium would host a Super Bowl within five years of its opening. 2007 Glendale, 2010 Arlington, 2011 Indianapolis, 2013 East Rutherford, 2015 Santa Clara, 2017 Minneapolis, 2018 Atlanta, and 2021 Los Angeles.
Damn FivePoints, you mentioned Tulane Stadium but failed to mention that it hosted Super Bowl VI in 1972 which was the coldest outdoor Super Bowl. 39 degrees at kickoff and a high of 43.
1975: builds a multimillion dollar stadium on a rising flood plane…..
2020: let’s build a billion dollar stadium in a place that doesn’t have sufficient water. You see where things aren’t adding up
Obscure?? That's about the last thing I'd call a city like New Orleans
Because everything there is to do is in one central location. You could come here for Super Bowl and never get in a car. The food, shopping, tourist attractions, hotels, nightclubs and the game itself are in a 3 mile area. Even the NFL Experience is in the Convention Center literally walking distance. Add in the fact that my city specializes in hospitality (conventions, Mardi Gras, etc) and it's a no brainer. I forgot about 24 hour drinking and the airport is close.
Can’t watch now but guess
1 its indoors so weather is not a factor
2 the city has a great tourist infrastructure
But now with LA and Vegas it may see less use
If weather is not a factor, why is New Orleans right now as I type this (9/26/21) playing home games on the road? Could it be because of.......weather?
@@mg19cal well the SB is usually played in January/February so yeah weather round that time is ok down there
@@malcolmcox18 it's odd that September isn't a good time for weather but Jan/Feb is. Not too many places in the Northern Hemisphere between the 35th and 38th parallel like that
The better question is why isn’t the Super Bowl always in new orleans
Would love to see the same video concept applied to Miami. Stadium is so far from everything and $50 Ubers everywhere you go is terrible
If only they could take Hard Rock Stadium and Push it somewhere else...
@@shanekeenaNYC an FSU fan would say that lol nice season this year 🤣 Jacksonville st ?? now that’s hilarious
I think the reason the Super Bowl gets put in New Orleans is because the city is advertised as a party city. It may be the NFL wants a party atmosphere.
Thinking back to Super Bowl XVI, at the Silverdome, in Pontiac, they even renamed the main street through downtown Pontiac Bourbon Street for the event.
If you’ve ever been in the Superdome after its recent renovation, it looks brand new. Literally stripped down to its steel frame and rebuilt. It’s gorgeous and in a perfect location.
How is it than 10 is 5.5% of all the Super Bowls played? Last I checked, there have been a total of 55 Super Bowls. 10 should be about 18%.
Dude, MSY is nowhere NEAR the downtown area. It's out in Kenner. Lost me there.
Five Points watched RealLifeLore’s video last week, I see…
The fetish never ends 🤣.
What about Las Vegas hosting a Supper Bowl? I would like to see that as well as the other two places you said.
It’s obvious New Orleans is one the top tourist attractions in the United States 🇺🇸 next to Miami and LA.
New Orleans is the South's Las Vegas. When there is a big game, people will stay anywhere from Baton Rouge, LA to Biloxi, MS. There is literally a place for any taste in that hundred miles.
False, Nashville is the south's Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Nashville is the second most tourist visited city in the united states, Nashville (Music City) swallows this town and I've been to both
Yeah makes me wonder if Vegas will be heavy in the rotation now that Vegas has a team. Vegas has all the same positives that New Orleans has. TONS of hotel space nearby and it’s certainly walkable, ranging from 15 to 45 minutes walking. And of course no last call.
Hahahahah Miami is the south vegas lol stop it bro New Orleans is trash!! Vegas and Miami has the 2 most famous strips in the country
@@Lucas6l5 you’re hilarious 😂 Nashville?? hahahahah Miami strip is the vegas of the south! Florida gains more tourists than any other city in the south! FACTS
@@moneyonfleek305 LMAO dude you are a troll, Nashville trumps Florida you noob 🤣 Miami is like the south's trashcan
If Nashville were to ever get a new domed stadium, it’d host many, many Super Bowls. Perhaps it’d even steal the SEC Championship from Atlanta.
It doesn't get that cold in Nashville to need a dome. I hope Nashville eventually hosts a Super Bowl.
Do a video on the history of old statiums and big games they have hosted?
Smart of you to post this during halftime of SNF.
Finally a video with just the new orleans saints
Why? Jambalaya. That's why.
I feel like a couple reasons Superbowl keeps going back to New Orleans are that the stadium is inside and they won't have to worry about rain or snow effecting the field and that the airport is a bit closer to the city. Honestly I agree let some cities that haven't hosted the Superbowl in a long time or ever host it and change what city hosts it every year instead of being in the same city for a couple of years in a row
Facts I would love to see a snow bowl in Gillette stadium or in green bay stadium for the big game
I'm originally from New Orleans. The airport is 14 miles from the city centre where the Superdome is. The airport is in Kenner outside of Metairie. It's out in the pre suburbs. I don't know what people consider close.
@@dominiquewashington2553 Gillette stadium holds 65,878 seating. The Superdome is still the second largest arena in the country with over 73,000 seats. The more seats....the more tickets sold. It's business. That's why Gillette doesn't hold Superbowls. It's that simple.
My first reaction was that ten out of fifty-something is more like twenty-ish percent
New Orleans is able to hold a ton of drunk people on a regular basis, places don't have takeout windows for alcohol for no reason.
Dallas/Ft. Worth has been screwed by hosting a Super Bowl with the 2011 winter storm and I don’t expected to host a Super Bowl anytime soon.
That and Arlington being too full of itself in refusing to get public transit... Also, in an area with two large major cities within 30 miles of each other, one will want more stuff than the other, and that ain't gonna happen.
@@29Texan Also, assuming that DFW is selected as a 2026 World Cup Host City (which I would be shocked if we’re not). We should be eventually get another Super Bowl. It’s been far to long!
@@tannerwilson4843 Considering Jerry's reach in the NFL hierarchy, the fact that his shrine to his ego has only had 1 Super Bowl is incredibly shocking. You'd think he'd get that stadium as many Super Bowls as he could
@@DepravedCoTApologist I keep telling people that the 2011 Winter Storm during Super Bowl week exposed DFW as an area where all the Super Bowl events and activities were way to long of a drive from each other.
It did far more damage to the area for our area’s chance to host a future Super Bowl then many people want to realize. I was saying this a decade ago and many felt that I was crazy. It turns out my prediction was correct. Not even Jerry Jones (who turns 79 next month) can overcome it.
I think we have a much better chance of being a World Cup host city for the 2026 World Cup then brining a Super Bowl back to Dallas anytime soon.
I have to say, they are a hurricane city, but you aren't gonna get that in February.
Food, partying, hospitality, accommodations, walkability and mild winter weather. No other NFL market can match those things available in New Orleans. Some have better stadiums, but are farther from the core of the city. Hurricanes and flooding don't happen in February.
It should always be in NOLA. Great tourist city for art, music, food, history and drinking. You can walk everywhere, the weather isn't bad in January and the stadium is huge.
There’s also the VooDoo there. Tourists love that voodoo. 😁
Cause there’s so many bars LOL
Superdome is adjacent to the French Quarter. We are a Party town. Food,Culture,Nightlife all at the Doorstep of the Superdome.
They need to host it there while they can, considering how New Orleans will be underwater by 2100
I think if the SB were not so hitched to huge halftime shows they could be far more climate variable with outdoor stadiums. I mean football can be played in cold weather but you are not going to get some full of ego music star to go on stage in Philly in February when its snowing sideways in the Linc.
I like the way 5 Points subtlety said under his breath “& boobies” 😆
I think 5 Points watches Real Life Lore
I heard the new 17 game schedule made the super bowl overlap mardigras which makes it hard because it would be so crowded.
How many cities have domes now? Isn't a huge part of the selection that they can't be outdoors in January in the north?
Or even outdoors _at all_ now (I'm actually asking on that one)? I know Bud Grant would like to have had it there, but ...
I thought that after the Ice Bowl they made sure that the championship game couldn't have that - which would give preference to domes.
Eventually they will just permanently move the super bowl to Vegas. They would be stupid not to.
No other city can match the tourism infrastructure. There’s like 3x more hotel rooms than seats in the stadium. Plus the casinos, in person football betting and perfect weather every day.
the dome is 50 years old? true, but how old is lambeau field or soldier field? they're considered historical sites, well maybe the superdome is too?
So, people hate the former Edward Jones Dome because it doesn't have any natural light. But neither does the Superdome, and no one seems to mind that. What gives?
I get the significance of the Superdome in NOLA and U.S. history with Katrina, but as a building, it's objectively not ideal. Even the latest renovations don't address the issue that somehow made the EJD unsuitable for the NFL.
And no, I'm not from the St. Louis area. I do visit there on occasion.
I grew up going to Indianapolis Colts games at the Hoosier Dome / RCA Dome, and it didn't have much in the way of natural light under that inflatable roof. The experience was still fun when the team was good, but I must admit Lucas Oil Stadium is light-years better.
The superdome is the only dome stadium that actually still works as a dome. And I feel the NFL want to keep going back to bring more fans and boost the local economy in a city that is doomed to fail
Check your math. Pretty sure 10/55 isn't 5.5. Love the content!
