Caesars Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints, has become not only a staple attraction for the Crescent City, but an indelible landmark in modern American history. Located in NOLA’s Central Business District, the 76,468-seat facility forms a consolidated sports and entertainment complex with the adjacent Smoothie King Center, home to the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans.
Opening in 1975 as the first home turf belonging to the NFL’s expansion team the New Orleans Saints, the Caesars Superdome stands as the fifth-oldest stadium still in use within the league. Along with hosting every home game in the Saints’ enchanting 2009 playoff run on the way to their first Super Bowl victory, the Superdome has hosted seven Super Bowls, most recently in 2013, with an eighth scheduled for 2025.
Caesars Superdome also offers year-round entertainment across all sports. It has hosted six NCAA men’s basketball Final Four championships and serves as the annual site for college football games like the Sugar Bowl, the New Orleans Bowl and the Bayou Classic. The Essence Music Festival has taken place at the Superdome nearly every year since its inception in 1995.
The address for Caesars Superdome is 1500 Sugar Bowl Drive, named for the traditional New Year’s Day college football game that has been played in New Orleans every year since 1935.

Caesars Superdome History
Opening as the Louisiana Superdome in 1975, Caesars Superdome has been the historical home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints ever since. This massive venue covers 13 acres of land and is 27 stories tall. Caesars Superdome underwent a $22.8 million renovation in 1996, which added a new entrance lobby, upgraded bathrooms, an extra concourse for the upper-level seats, extra accommodations for guests with disabilities, and new security and safety measures. Caesars Superdome was used as a shelter during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, harboring more than 30,000 residents of New Orleans. The stadium sustained more than $185 million worth of damage during Hurricane Katrina, but was quickly rebuilt after the disaster, maintaining the original multi-colored seats and three-leveled seating plan, while adding extra video boards throughout the stadium. In 2009, a $210 million renovation to Caesars Superdome took place. It expanded plaza level concourses throughout the stadium, increased the seating capacity, added concession stands, upgraded restaurants, added 300-level suites and a club lounge. Caesars Superdome then began another multi-phase $450 million renovation that began in 2019. This renovation, still ongoing, will include expanding the concourses, new entry gates, adding field-level suites, enhancing food and beverage options, more efficient technology and many more upgrades that will improve the overall guest experience.
Caesars Superdome was called the Louisiana Superdome from 1975–2011. The stadium was renamed the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in 2011 and was then renamed the Caesars Superdome in 2021. Throughout the almost 50 years of service, the Caesar Superdome has seen thousands of world-renowned events.
