Talk:Caesars Superdome

message: Does anyone know where interior pictures of the stadium could be obtained?  (Ones that aren't protected by copyright, etc. that is.)  Right now the article has no photos of the inside of the stadium; there should be at least one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.186.107 (talk) 17:51, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

message: *Though the current staff my believe that no engineering study was ever performed - the studies were made and widely covered at the time of the domes construction.
*The roof has not been damaged to the extent the news media would have you believe - what was peeled away is a protective membrane, analogous to the shingles on a suburban home.  The holes, of which much has been made, are where ventilators have been ripped away, not failures of the roof structure.

message: All I can find to lend any shred of credence to this is one sentence on a KSAT (San Antionio ABC station) report. . The latest report (2:03 PM, Sept. 6) from Saints owner Tom Benson makes no reference to the condition of the dome following this season. . Can someone find a source for this? I find it unlikely that a full engineering assessment has been performed. Dystopos 23:35, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

*Not until that temp home has been identified. As of right now the SD is still listed as their home field which means it is technically still open.Gateman1997 16:21, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

message: What is the source for "The Superdome, which will soon be demolished"? Surely for something like that there are some announcements and press releases.  (SEWilco 14:01, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Checking the Superdome official site: "Doug Thornton, SMG Regional Vice President, says contrary to press reports that it is premature to say if the dome will be torn down, or if it can be rebuilt or restored. A decision on whether the dome can be saved is weeks away, after a team of experts can make an assessment. Even that step will be delayed until the inside can be cleaned. The majority of Superdome damage is from roof problems and water infiltration."  (SEWilco 14:06, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This section needs a general overhaul, since restoration is underway.  Check http://www.superdome.com/uploads/LASuperdomeN.O.ArenaRestorationUpdate.pdf and the other PDFs on the official site for better info. --Jkonrath 22:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: MLB in the Superdome?

message: The article says the Louisiana Governor said "I want one of these only bigger" (referring to the Houston Astrodome) in 1967 and that he got his wish five years later. But then, two paragraphs down from that, it says construction on the Superdome began in 1971 and was completed in 1975. As I read it, he got his wish eight years later, not five. --Smithfarm 09:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

message: IMHO, the new succession boxes for the various occupants look awful, clutter the article and are an inappropriation representation of this particular information. Succession boxes make more sense for frequently changing, long-lined occurances; as a general rule, a change in home stadia is a pretty rare event. In this case, the change was only temporary, driven by an external event. Thoughts, comments?  AUTiger ʃ talk/work 15:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The New Orleans Saints opened the 1975 NFL season at the Superdome. Tulane Stadium, which had served as the Saint's first home and the city's primary stadium, was condemned on the day the Superdome opened.
The John Curtis Patriots played the last game ever played in Tulane Stadium in 1978 when the Patriots beat Jonesboro-Hodge 40-0 in the State Championship final.

message: As far as I know, the Superdome's basketball configuration has always placed the half-court line of the basketball court at the 50 yard line of the football field, as opposed to other facilities where the basketball court was in an end zone. One of the Superdome's sideline lower decks can be rolled out into the center of the stadium to bring it closer to a basketball court placed along the other sideline. How exactly would thin interact with the NCAA policy noted in the article? Ilikefish0 (talk) 23:17, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I didn't see anything in this article about the acoustics of the Superdome. There's a decent article here that goes into why the Superdome is one of the noisiest venues (120 decibels) and how that translates to a home field advantage. Gobonobo T C 23:23, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I think the change from Astroturf to Momentum Turf came in 2004, not 2006, based on newspaper article previews like this one from 2004.  It talks about the new Momentum Turf surface being the third different surface for the Superdome "in as many years."
It seems likely that a new surface did need to be installed in 2006 as well after the hurricane damage, but that installation may not have changed the type of turf used.

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: I note that there have already been some eager suggestions to move the article to "Caesars Superdome".   Per   Louisiana legislature "Joint Legislative Committee on Budget  met to approve the facility's naming rights addressed in Louisiana Statue (La. R.S. 51:293.1B). The statute authorized the LSED "to sell or transfer the right to designate and use an alternative name to refer to the Louisiana Superdome. The committee agreed to the name as the 'Caesars Superdome.'"   So note that it continues to legally be the Louisiana Superdome; "Caesar's Superdome" is stated to be an "alternative name".  -- Infrogmation (talk) 21:52, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on whether the original name remains in frequent use. No one ever called it the O.co Coliseum unless they were contractually required to. To locals it has always been the Oakland Coliseum or just the Coliseum. See also Talk:Oakland_Coliseum#Requested_move_20_May_2021.
