Saints and State close to lease extension/major renovation

Being that the Superdome is now an official part of the U.S. Register of Historical Places, it will very likely never be torn down. I have a very hard time seeing a new stadium ever get built in New Orleans. They will just continue refurbishing the dome.

The Superdome, though it doesn't have nearly the same # of years on it, has essentially become akin to Lambeau Field and Soldier Field in terms of historical significance IMO, and neither of those stadiums are ever going away either.

They've been able to add on expansions to outdoor stadiums. They basically built a new stadium around soldier field. We're limited to the space in the superdome shell. We'll see what kind of space they can add by taking ramps out. A new stadium will have to come at some point though. Probably after Gayle.
