The Superdome has 4 or 5 levels. Certainly the top three or four would be above the floodline (assuming the structure can hold up).

I think the mayor said earlier that the Superdome would be open in the AM for any who were unable to evacuate (no transportation, etc.), also that it was handicap accessible.

Said it was also built high & was able to withstand up to 200 MPH winds.

I pray that holds true. When you combine hurricane force winds with battering 20-foot waves filled with floating debris, it makes for a destructive combination.
