Caesars SuperdomeAbout Caesars Superdome
The Caesars Superdome is a large domed sports and events stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, and is the home stadium of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints. The venue opened in 1975 and hosts major sporting events and concerts.
The bowl offers tiered seating and a large interior floor used for American football, conventions, concerts and large-scale events, accommodating roughly 73,000 spectators in typical football configuration. Tours, game-day experiences and event access focus on the interior bowl, premium suites and event-level facilities.
Constructed in the 1970s as the Louisiana Superdome, it became nationally notable in 2005 when it was used as a refuge and later required major repairs following Hurricane Katrina. The stadium has since hosted Super Bowls, college championships, and large concerts.
Located in the Central Business District of New Orleans, the Superdome sits just northwest of the Mississippi River and is within walking distance of downtown hotels and entertainment districts.
- Capacity: Seats around 73,000 for major football games, with flexible configurations for concerts and other events.
- History note: Opened in 1975 and extensively repaired after flood damage in 2005, it remains New Orleans’ principal indoor events arena.

How to Get to Caesars Superdome
Located in downtown New Orleans adjacent to the Central Business District. By public transit use the St. Charles Streetcar or buses to Canal Street and walk; the Union Passenger Terminal (Amtrak) is a short taxi/Uber ride away. On game days, allow ample extra travel time-road closures and heavy traffic are common.
Tips for Visiting Caesars Superdome
- Check the event schedule before visiting-public access is event‑dependent; stadium tours are scheduled on non‑match days.
- Arrive by public transport: the Superdome sits adjacent to the Union Passenger Terminal; leave extra time on Saints game days-traffic is famously snarled.
- If watching a Saints game, buy tickets from official sellers; odd resale platforms run scams around big matchups.
