The Superdome

[cdandi1]

I've been to many saints vs panthers games in the dome..been to the city, stayed there in multiple places etc...experienced mardi gras, been in a mardi gras parade, etc...

It is an amazing place of culture and history with wonderful food and attractions...

But, it is a poorly run city and state with crime, crooked cops, shifty shop lifters, and bums. I have never been to a place with so many bums..most of them will try to sing you a song or some ish and beg for cash.

It is a great place to visit and a good place to watch a football game because the dome has very good viewing angles. I was at the dome when david carr and matt moore beat the saints...it was quiet, everything echoed, fans were slow to rise and seemed disinterested.

I saw Jimmy almost beat the saints there last year...place was full and loud, but still dim, full of echoes, and the majority of fans there had never been to a game before '09.

If I had to go watch a game somewhere I would want to go to kansas city, green bay or seattle. Its one thing to be loud indoors but being loud with an open air stadium is special.

The atmosphere extends to the city as a whole. People here who talk poo about New Orleans have either never been there, are over 25, or they went and stayed in their Ramada the whole time. It's an absolutely insane city.

Fixed

I was in NOLA 3 months before Katrina, we were leaving on a cruise that departed from there. we decided to go down there 3 days early and get a room in a hotel on Bourbon street just so we can say we did it.

if you stay in the french quarter, and dont mind the smell of vomit 24/7 then its a great city. but if you venture into the ACTUAL city, it was a shithole before Katrina, i cant imagine what it is now.

heard NO is fun, but you don't want to be there more than 2-3 days.....and you better stay in the FQ

[Woodcookedbbq]

or the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as it is now called. It is hands-down the most fun place I've ever seen a game. It's loud and rockin' and sometimes I forget that I am NOT happy when they are.

i f you attend one away game in your fandom, this is the one.

How are you treated by the other fans? Do you go with other Panther fans?

[X-Clown]

Even though the dome itself is worn down and straight out of the 60s, the atmosphere to watch a game is insane. Fans there stay loud the entire game, of course, when the Panthers make a big play you have to love how quiet it gets. 99% of the fans were cool when I went (in 2009), the other 1% clearly were watching football for the first time.

Does it smell as bad as they say?

When I was 22 and looking to get wasted and go whoring it was awesome, now that I'm all grown up I see it for the dump that it really is.

So you judge a city because you went there as a kid and got plastered. How much of the art, music, food, history etc. did you take in while you were drinking and whoring?

Kansas City - also for the steaks & barbeque

you had a bad host

French Quarter is cool to visit once but the real gems are elsewhere around the city.

Some people like strip malls, Cheesecake Factory and white people, others like variety, culture, history and aren't scared of people with color or poor people (I'm not directing this at the poster I responded to, just people in general)

I need to go back, I was there until 2 days before Katrina on a bachelor party that got cut short due to it.

My few tips to New Orleans:

The french quarter is nice in spots like Jackson square, St Louis Cathedral, the market, and Cafe du Monde (sp). Also, the WWII museum is pretty sweet too. Pretty much anywhere has good, unique food. Bourban st and the like are pretty much toursity drunk spots...but hanging in new orleans in the day is pretty cool.

I'm still not a fan of thier sports facilities. The arena is a dump and the dome's ramps, concourses, concessions, restrooms all need to be rennovated. It has gotten louder in recent years..but that happens with most cities.
