The New Orleans Saints and ASM Global have marked the completion of the renovation of the Caesars Superdome by New Orleans-based architecture firm Trahan Architects.<\/p>\n

Completed ahead of the NFL regular season and Super Bowl LIX, which will be hosted in February 2025, the Caesars Superdome\u2019s transformation improves the fan experience and extends the building\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\n

The interior of the 68,000-seat stadium has been fully renovated, and the Superdome now provides improved guest experience, dining, navigation, wayfinding, team facilities, and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

The architects increased the stadium\u2019s overall square footage without expanding the building\u2019s footprint, reclaiming more than 9,290 m2<\/sup> (100,000 sf) of public space by removing most of a complex ramp network. In its place, new light-filled atriums have been fixed in the building\u2019s three new primary fan entrances, offering new amenity spaces, higher ceilings, new egress stairwells, and introducing the building\u2019s first high-speed escalators to the upper levels of the seating bowl.<\/p>\n

The renovation unearthed an additional 4,645 m2<\/sup> (50,000 sf) of usable back-of-house space, expanding operations and storage and improving overall circulation for greater efficiency.<\/p>\n

The stadium also features Americans with Disabilities Act<\/em> (ADA<\/em>)-compliant seating with improved sight lines and unobstructed views of the field from multiple levels of the seating bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
