New Orleans Saints Finalize Long-Term Agreement with Caesars Superdome
The 10-year lease includes options to extend through 2055, securing the Saints’ home and preserving New Orleans’ chance to bid for the 2031 Super Bowl, officials said.
- The New Orleans Saints finalized a 10-year lease through 2035 at the Caesars Superdome, with options extending the deal to 2055, Gov. Jeff Landry will announce Thursday.
- After lengthy talks that stretched across administrations, the previous lease was not finalized beyond 2030, forcing the New Orleans Saints to miss an NFL deadline that jeopardized the 2031 Super Bowl bid.
- A recent $450 million renovation enhanced the Caesars Superdome, while Super Bowl LIX generated $1.25 billion statewide and attracted over 115,000 visitors, officials said.
- Gayle Benson said she will send the signed deal to the NFL for approval and then petition NFL owners to reinstate New Orleans for Super Bowl bids soon.
- The extension represents intent to remain for many decades as officials said missing the 2031 Super Bowl bid could delay hosting until 2038, adding symbolic weight during the Superdome's 50th year.
