Leading up to the team's preseason home opener onSaturday, Aug. 25, the New Orleans Saints will be unveiling the final updates of the Caesars Superdome's dynamic $560 million transformation, strategically aimed at enhancing the facility's fan experience. The team has proudly committed nearly $180 million toward the $560 million project. The collaborative project funded by the New Orleans Saints, Louisiana Stadium & Exposition District (LSED), and the State of Louisiana has progressed over a five-year period through the work of a team of architects, contractors, designers and construction workers operating around the clock in order to reach its completion by the start of the 2024 Saints season. Saints season ticketholders and their guests will be the first to experience the remarkable evolution of the facility prior to the building hosting the National Football League's showcase event, Super Bowl LIX, on Feb., 9, 2025, the year which will also be the 50th anniversary of the stadium.
The purpose of the Caesars Superdome transformation project is to preserve the character of the building's iconic exterior, while elevating its overall functionality and the gameday experience for all guests. These modernizations bring the facility in line with stadiums being built and renovated across the world, thus keeping the storied home of the Saints and the city of New Orleans as ideal hosts for the upcoming and future Super Bowls, as well as numerous national and international events for decades to come. Equally as important, the Caesars Superdome will continue to serve as a source of great civic pride while providing a significant economic impact for the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana.
40-yard bars enhance fan experience at Caesars Superdome
In its final stage of completion, the Caesars Superdome now boasts two 40-yard bars spanning from the 30-yard line to the 30-yard line on both the East and West sides of the stadium. The addition of these two spaces, located on the 100 Level, are open to all fans in attendance and elevate the fan experience to new heights.
The introduction of the Crown Royal Tchoupitoulas Bar and Bud Light Pontchartrain Bar represent a significant investment by the Saints to modernize and enrich the stadium's amenities. Positioned strategically, the bars offer panoramic views of the field, allowing fans to enjoy the game while indulging in premium hospitality services.
"We wanted to create spaces that enhance the overall enjoyment of attending games at the Caesars Superdome," Saints President Dennis Lauscha said. "These 40-yard bars provide a unique opportunity for our fans to gather, socialize, and enjoy the action on the field in a comfortable and vibrant setting."
Designed to cater to a diverse range of options, the bars feature a variety of offerings, including specialty cocktails, craft beer and domestic beer. This blend of luxury and accessibility aims to cater to all audiences.
Beyond enhancing fan comfort, the bars are expected to bolster the Superdome's reputation as a premier venue for sports and entertainment events. With New Orleans' renowned hospitality at the forefront, the 40-yard bars are poised to enhance accessibility for all events in the building, further solidifying the city's status as a cultural and sporting hub.
The unveiling of the 40-yard bars marks not only an enhancement to the stadium but also a commitment to providing an exceptional experience for attendees. With both bars now fully operational, fans can eagerly anticipate enjoying the next game from these newly established vantage points.
The debut of the 40-yard Crown Royal Tchoupitoulas Bar and Bud Light Pontchartrain Bar at the Caesars Superdome signifies a new chapter in stadium luxury and fan engagement for the New Orleans Saints.
