I said NFL, not the NFC South. I remember it from an article in the Times-Pic. I believe that Arnie Fielcow was making the quote and commenting on how the Superdome had a lot of suites, but they were in serious need of updating and businesses to buy them. If I am not mistaken, as of today, the suites are sold out and newly renovated.

Going by your website, Arrowhead Stadium and Gillette Stadium have 80 suites. Giants Stadium has between 70 and 80. Heinz Stadium as 120 suites. Baltimore's stadium has 100 suites. The Raiders Stadium has 120 suites. Paul Brown Stadium has 144 suites. Qualcomm has 100 suites. Ralph Wilson Stadium has 70 suites. Lucas Oil Stadium will have 150 suites. Reliant has 187 suites. Bank of America has 158 club and luxury suites (not the same thing). Edward Jones has 125 suites. Ford Field has 140 suites. Lambeau has about 150 suites now after adding 80 a couple years ago. Lincoln Financial has 117 suites. New Soldier Field has 133 suites. Those were all of the stadiums with the number of suites listed. The Superdome is not as high as I remembered as a lot of stadiums have upgraded to current Superdome levels and a lot of those ballparks with fewer suites are much, much newer than the Superdome.

Adding another 50 suites to "keep up" with the new stadiums isn't going to provide any more revenue without people to buy them.
