Caesars Superdome gets its new turf for the season

Physical magazines don’t sell like they used to, but I used to buy Athlon’s preseason football guide every year in late ‘80s and through the ‘90s. Each team would get about 2-3 pages of copy, photos and a roster. The photos all came from outdoor games, like our old annual road trips to S.F. and L.A.

I could definitely see that being the case back in the 80’s, 90’s, and even through the first few years of the 2000’s. When I first started getting to go to games in 2003, the lighting the Dome had did seem a bit lackluster. It seemed very dim and there was no mistake about it the stadium didn’t allow any natural light to flow in. 😂

I’d guess around 2010 or 2011 was when I started noticing all the photos/video clips of Saints and random other players from games that occurred at the Superdome and it wouldn’t surprise me if that coincided with potential lighting improvements that were made in preparation for the upcoming Super Bowl New Orleans hosted.
