Louisiana Superdome is the home stadium of NFL's New Orleans Saints. In addition to sporting events, the venue is also used for concerts and conventions. Construction After the state of Louisiana passed legislation allowing construction of a new stadium in 1966, workers broke ground on the Superdome on August 11, 1971. Just over four years later the arena was completed and opened on September 28, 1975. Bring on the sports Shortly after opening, the Superdome became the permanent home of the New Orleans Saints and the Tulane University Green Wave football teams. New Orleans' NBA team, the New Orleans Jazz, also used the Superdome until moving to Utah in 1979. Special events During the arena's opening season, it became the home of the Sugar Bowl, an annual college football bowl game. In 1978, the Superdome hosted Super Bowl XII. Hurricane Katrina The Superdome was opened in August 2005 as a temporary shelter in preparation for Hurricane Katrina. Much of the New Orleans area was destroyed by Katrina due to massive winds and flooding.
Following the storm, the Superdome was left with two large holes in the roof and low level flooding on the playing field. All shelter residents were moved to Texas after complete evacuations of New Orleans was ordered. Post-Katrina Due to the damage caused by the storm, the Superdome was closed for the entire 2005 football season. After an estimated $193 million in repairs were completed, the Saints returned to the Superdome to open the 2006 NFL regular season on September 25, 2006.
