The New Orleans Saints are close to signing a deal for $450 Million dollars in renovations of the Mercedes Benz Superdome and an extension that would keep the team in New Orleans through 2035.
The government entity which oversees the property, Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, will pay roughly $200 million of the $450 million renovation, the Saints will pay around $160 million and the state will pay about $90 million.
According to Nola.com,
The most dramatic feature of the work would be re-imagined entry lobbies at the corners of the stadium along Poydras Street and Champions Square.
Other features include:
Removal of the sideline pedestrian ramps leading fans to the loge, club/suite and terrace levels of the building, and replacing them with additional escalators.
New east and west sideline club lounges.
Expanded 300 level luxury box suites.
New end zone field level box suites.
Expanded plaza, loge and terrace level concourses.
New end-zone corner standing-room-only viewing decks.
Expanded team store, retail outlets and Saints Hall of Fame.
New visiting team locker room.
