Start date set for third round of Dome renovations

Mike Conti Reporting
WWL 870 AM


Officials have set a start date for a third phase of renovations to the Superdome, as work continues to substantially upgrade the 32 year old building.

Bids to install new exterior escalators, giant windows for the club lounges, and replacement of the building's siding are due in two weeks.

"If things go well, we'll begin construction on May 1st," said Doug Thornton, the Vice President of Superdome operator SMG.

Strange they wouldnt have started right after the season. 5 months till opening sunday is not allowing much time for the work to be done.

All of the WYES specials on New Orleans are very well done! If you've got a few bucks lying around, you can order the dvd's from the website.
 
Kellye, they rerun this all the time so it'll probably be on again in a month or so. I can try to remember to DVR it and hook you up or someone can. You'll have lots more chances.

I just watched that. It was awesome, i'm not old enough to remember the beach, but it seems that it was really nice place to be. Those times were different, everything seemed pure.
