CAESARS SUPERDOME SET TO RECEIVE MAJOR UPGRADE: OVER 20,000 SEATS TO BE REPLACED IN MULTI-YEAR RENOVATION PROJECT
NEW ORLEANS, LA — The New Orleans Saints are giving fans another reason to get excited for game days — the legendary Caesars Superdome is about to undergo a major comfort upgrade. Team and city officials have announced plans to replace and refurbish over 20,000 seats inside the historic dome as part of a multi-year renovation project aimed at enhancing the fan experience while preserving the Superdome’s iconic atmosphere.
The project, set to begin later this year, will target sections that have been in use for decades, replacing rusted, worn, and outdated seats with brand-new, more comfortable designs. The new seating will feature modern materials built for durability, along with improved cushioning, legroom, and accessibility — ensuring that Saints fans can cheer longer and louder in comfort.
“This building has been home to unforgettable moments in Saints history and New Orleans culture,” said Dennis Lauscha, Saints president. “These upgrades are about respecting that legacy while improving the experience for the next generation of fans. We want every person who walks into the Superdome to feel proud, comfortable, and connected to this team.”
Construction will take place in phases over the next two seasons to minimize disruption to Saints home games and major events such as concerts and the annual Sugar Bowl. Team officials confirmed that work will be primarily conducted during the offseason, with no expected impact on the Saints’ regular-season schedule.
The seat replacement is part of a broader $500 million renovation plan launched in partnership with the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District (LSED) — a long-term commitment to keeping the Caesars Superdome one of the premier venues in sports and entertainment. In addition to seating, future phases will include upgraded concession areas, modernized concourses, improved Wi-Fi, and expanded premium seating options.
Saints fans, known for their passion and loyalty, have already taken to social media to celebrate the news. “Those seats have seen it all — Drew Brees, Sean Payton, the Super Bowl, and the Miracle in the Dome,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Can’t wait to see the new look. Still the same Who Dat energy!”
Opened in 1975, the Caesars Superdome has hosted everything from seven Super Bowls to Hurricane Katrina relief operations, making it one of the most iconic stadiums in American history. Despite its age, it remains a cornerstone of the New Orleans skyline and a symbol of resilience for the city and its people.
“This isn’t just about new seats,” said a spokesperson for the Saints organization. “It’s about honoring nearly 50 years of memories while preparing for 50 more.”
When complete, the refreshed Superdome will continue to stand as a beacon of football tradition and community pride — a place where comfort meets culture, and the heartbeat of Who Dat Nation grows even stronger.
