MERCEDES BENZ Superdome is new orleans icon

You don't need to live near the Superdome to recognize the significance of the iconic NFL stadium to the people of New Orleans. Formerly the Louisiana Superdome, the Mercedes Benz Superdome is located in the Central Business District in Downtown New Orleans, a brisk walk or quick streetcar or cab ride away from Deanie’s Seafood Restaurant and the New Orleans French Quarter. The Superdome is home of the New Orleans Saints, who kick off the regular season Sept. 11 against the Minnesota Vikings, the Allstate Sugar Bowl, the Bayou Classic and the Sugar Bowl Prep Classic.

You don't need to live near the Superdome to recognize the significance of the iconic NFL stadium to the people of New Orleans. When the New Orleans Saints (0-2) take on the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) Monday night, the game will also mark the 10-year reunion of the broadcast record-breaking Monday Night Football matchup between the Saints and Falcons  that marked the return of the Mercedes Benz Superdome following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina.
