How Is New Orleans A Finalist In The Super Bowl Selection For 2019 And 2020

[falcon124]

With that POS stadium? The friggin' lights went out for crying out loud. Are they getting a new stadium too?

[clownorg]

for some reason, people seem to love the city

[paulitik]

Because of the proximity to the hotels and restaurants. If Vegas had a stadium they'd have Super Bowls there a lot too.

I'm with you though, even after renovations the Superdone is a ****hole.

[AtlantaFanatic]

It's a party town. A gross, disgusting town, but what better place to throw a huge party than one of the party capitals of the U.S.

[FentayeJones]

I dont think it's about the stadium as much as it's about the city. New Orleans is always under consideration for most major events.

I finally went down there recently..and I don't see what the hype is...it was dirty with a lot of homeless people everywhere...I came away actually feeling sad...

[Herr Doktor]

Hype. It has a different feel. An old city. Tradition. Jazz. etc.

And its the capital (in spirit) of that third world country called Louisiana.

Im sure a lot of people like it...and thats their choice...I didnt care for the place...I was very excited going down there...but I didnt leave that way...

I went for the first time a couple of months ago and now that I'm back I tell people who ask about the city, "go for 4 days, drink, see the sights, enjoy yourself, then you'll never want to go back again."

It's good they're consistently considered, nothing would be sweeter than winning the SB in that dome.

[BritFalcon]

Aren't they considered every year? This is what happens when you have a league that is openly biased to hosting the Super Bowl in the south. If they actually considered bids from northern teams, maybe New Orleans wouldn't make the cut as often as it does.

Oh Yes....

[Nono]

that stadium is a shithole

They would never recover from that..lol...but you cant beat winning in your own stadium..

This **** again...

[treefiddy]

This **** again...

We he's right...

Remember when the lights went out while the Ravens were getting a$$ blasted, causing and second and nearly third half time?

[jb 3.0]

More trash from the whiners in TATF.

[st. diehard]

We he's right...

Stadium's fine. Didn't the lights go out because of some high $$$ system to prevent the lights from going out?

[saints4life25]

He's not right.

It had nothing to do with the Superdome and everything to do with the high dollar system the Superdome had in place to keep from losing power.

Besides that, it's not the first time a stadium has lost power during an event, and won't be the last.

Sounds like someone fugged up...

...which means the Super Bowl went off without a problem in the eyes of Saints fans huh?

It was a fugg up, but from all accounts the NFL was satisfied how the entire week went, as well as people who were down there.

Let's face it regardless of how you feel about New Orleans, the people, the Dome, or whatever else, it is a great place to hold major events, and the city will always get consideration.

This is the problem with commentig on a situation you know nothing about. No one said the event happened without a problem, just that in December before the Super Bowl, a project for over $4 million wrapped up to upgrade the electrical on the Dome. Officials brought in inspectors to check everything a few months before and they decided something like this may happen, so upgrades were made.

The problem has since been corrected.
