Do you think they will get these renovations finished on time? Will they have enough money? Doesn’t the field suite bring a bad sight line due to photographers and other stuff on the field?

No
No
Yes

More importantly, are the really going to call a section a Vomitory or “SuperVom? Do they know that the word vomitory means “inducing vomiting”?

Why does Mark Ingram have a Michael Thomas jersey on?

Of course they'll get done in plenty of time. You think they'll just leave as is if they don't? That would look dumb. Have a Sunday Night game and the Saints score in an empty concrete area. How stupid would New Orleans look?!

If they don't get done maybe they'll be allowed to leave a CAT in the endzone.

It's amazing how fast they can get things done. I'm seeing it everyday when I drive in Scottsdale.

He definitely couldnt jump into the previous height
Gonna miss those old first row seats, they could usually be had for a good price. Hence my profile picture

NOLA.com is one of the worst sites around. It's awful. Seriously, this is what local journalism looks like now:


Literally just a wall of ads.

I could be wrong, but I don't think people in the field suite care about watching the game from the field suite.

Actually that's only when it's used as a adjective and that is considered a rare use . As a noun, it means "a passage that allows people to enter or leave an auditorium or stadium."
Having stated all that, I will agree that Super Vom is a TERRIBLE name. Who picked this? Where were the marketing people? WTF?

I’ve actually never seen/ heard it used as a noun (until now).

The first thing that came to mind when I read that name was an old “Saturday Night Live” skit (late 70’s early 80’s) involving a “Vomitorium”

We could get corporate sponsors for these area. The Pepto Bismol Super Vomitory. The place to go every time Winston throw’s an INT.
