For going on almost 33 years now the New Orleans Super dome has been an integral part of the this city's skyline and its ever-changing identity. Constructed for a reasonable sum and completed in 1975, the Saints and the city of New Orleans began an odyssey to which it would endure bagheads, Dome patrols, Cha-chings, and even Hurricane Katrina. None of which seemed to put the death nail in the place. It just hovers, stand their and remains a hell of a place to go see a football game in the NFL season. Yeah sure their are the Lambeau's and the Soldier Field's. and maybe the Super dome wasn't the first domed stadium but it was the best. the people who built it put care and foresight into it and it has lasted all these many years
for that we have memories and the next story being told in this place, as old as it is, is still profound. Its an American monument and a gathering for like minded people who enjoy to party down and enjoy life like the city its inhabits. New Orleans has a rogue charm that appeals to so many people even still when its pride got hurt and maybe its future put into question almost 3 short years ago. We have a great bond that is still the bond that holds us together. Its a strong one and my God bless it for being so.
I mean why would we want it any other way? The Saints are not historically a winning football team but we are one of the most recognizable teams in NFL history, maybe I admit because of our losses but also because of the place we play in. When we win, it is like a drug going in our heads for a week until the next game. winning really helps this town cope and go forward. A truly positive effect and for that it has to be brought out as such.
And the Super dome? Its role is like the gathering place for the next year the next game, maybe this will be the year we win it all. the SB, we win it in this place as our home turf. thats its function and it has done a hell of a job in that capacity. those are winning memories but most importantly those are Super dome Memories.
We love to keep adding to them too. Next year will be just another chapter
