    Louisiana Superdome

    1500 Poydras St , New Orleans, LA

    Named for the jazz anthem "When the Saints Go Marching In," the NFL's New Orleans Saints have played their home games in the Louisiana Superdome since 1975. Hurricane Katrina sent the Saints on the road, but after a renovation the team played its 2006 home opener there in front of a sold-out crowd. The largest fixed domed structure in the world, the Superdome was designed by the architectural firm Curtis and Davis. More Super Bowls have been played at the Superdome than at any other sports facility.
