NEW ORLEANS — Just ab
out 10 years have gone by since
those whose travels brought
them along the interstate from
the western outskirts of town be
gan realizing that there was
going to be a permanent dent on
the horizon.
That route still provides the
best view for someone seeing it
for the first time.
After driving along for mile
after mile, past the airport, past
the big cemetery and past the
rail yards, the highway lunges
upward, making a long, left-
hand swing as it nears down
town.

And as the road reaches its
highest point, the structure sud
denly becomes visible. Now it is
an everyday part of life. But a
decade ago it was a novelty — a
modern-day, bulky beanstalk
growing skyward, promising
riches and delivering con
troversy.
Domed stadiums of varying
size and makeup have popped
up here and there since Hous
ton’s Astrodome led the way.
But in the world of huge, co
vered arenas, it is the Louisiana
Superdome that has consistently
lured the biggest attractions and
meant the most to the area in
which it was built.
“I don’t know what would
have happened if the Dome had
not been here,” said Ed Nebel,
director of the department of
hotels, restaurants and tourism
at the University of New
Orleans.
“But I don’t think there is any
doubt that it was the cataylst for
the change that was felt
throughout the central business
district.”
What the Superdome has
meant to New Orleans can best
be demonstrated by a display of
‘7 don’t know what would have happened
if the Dome had not been here, but I don’t
think there is any doubt that it was the
cataylst for the change that was felt
throughout the central business distt ict. ”—

hotels, restaurants and tourism at the L di
versity of New Orleans.

“before” and “after” photo

Before the Dome was built,
the area along Poydras Street,
just a short walk westward from
famed Canal Street and the
French Quarter, was rife with
decay. Now it is a classic model of
a space-age American metropo
lis — skycrapers, hotels, huge
buildings under construction.
And in the midst of it all sits
the stadium itself, its bronze-
tinted walls and overall symmet
ry pleasing to the eye when
viewed from afar and its size
overwhelming when viewed
from up close.
“On balance,” said Cliff Wal
lace, the building’s general man
ager, “it would appear that
building the Superdome is one
of the wisest decisions any city or
state ever made.”
There were those, legions in
fact, who felt not so long ago that
building the Superdome was far
less than wise.
Its construction was approved
by the voters of Louisiana in
1966, at which time building
costs were estimated to be in the
range of $35 million. When the
stadium was opened in August
of 1975, four years after con
struction began and more than
one year behind schedule, it had
cost $163.5 million.
The spiraling costs prompted
lawsuits which tried to stop con
struction and they were also
blamed in part for defeating for
mer Gov. John J. McKeithen —
one of the stadium’s staunchest
backers — in his bid for the U.S.
Senate.
There are still grumbles from
politicians when funds are re
quested for various mainte
nance projects at the stadium.
But for the most part, the pro
tests have died because the Su-
