About this listen

Opening its doors in 1975, the Louisiana Superdome has become more than just the home of the New Orleans Saints and the yearly site of the Sugar Bowl.

For the last 50 years the Superdome, the most recognizable stadium for sure in the western hemisphere, has been the location of some of the most memorable games and sports moments over the last half century.

This week, the now Caesar's Superdome will be hosting the Super Bowl for a record 8th time, adding to its reputation as America’s premiere locale for big games and championship matches.

This is Part one of three episodes examining the illustrious history of the Louisiana Superdome, the site of many exciting memorable sports moments over the last 50 years.

Joining us in this episode is a pair of colleagues here on

the Sports history network.

The host of the Football is Family podcast, Jeremy McFarlin

and the co host of the Hello Old Sports podcast Dan Neumann as they will talk

about the best moments of Super Bowls in the Super dome as well as share their

memories of a building that has hosted more than its share of big games in

North American Sports.

Later in the Show, we will send a shout out to the Stadium

that the Superdome replaced in the mid 1970s.

A stadium known in the Big Easy as the "Old lady of Willow Street", Tulane stadium.

A stadium that was the site of three super bowls in its own right as well as the long time home of the Sugar Bowl, the original home of the Saints and was also the site of one two of the greatest moments in Saints history.
