Here’s a sneak peek at the new look Superdome

The future of the New Orleans Superdome is one step closer from concept to reality.

On Thursday, the first architectural renderings of the planned Mercedes-Benz Superdome renovation were unveiled.

The $450 million makeover will include new wide-open atriums that will eventually replace the current ramp system, as well as new improved concourses to accommodate vendors and field-level end zone boxes.

The first phase next year, which is estimated to cost as much as $100 million, will be “the enabling phase” consisting of back-of-house work that will not be noticed much by fans, according to Victor F. “Trey” Trahan, Founder/CEO of Trahan Architects.

This will include putting in alternative exits before the 80,000 square foot ramp system located on the sideline of the stadium are removed.  It also calls for constructing a large kitchen and food service area in space currently being used for parking.

Work is expected to continue through the start of the 2023-2024 season, which culminates with the Superdome hosting that year’s NFL Super Bowl.
