Home
of the New Orleans Saints, the Louisiana
Superdome is one of the NFL’s biggest
stadium. In the mid 1960’s New Orleans
businessman Dave Dixon envisioned a dome
stadium that could bring a football team
to the area. In 1966, his vision became
a reality after much discussion and planning,
the Louisiana Legislature passed a bill
that allowed the stadium to be built. After
reaching an agreement to build a stadium,
the NFL awarded the area a team, the New
Orleans Saints. Construction began in August
of 1971, and was completed by August 1975.
The dome stadium was named the Louisiana
Superdome, because of its massive size.
The Superdome covers 13 acres and is 27
stories tall. From the outside it looks
like a massive spaceship.
