Is the dome on higher ground?
Yes, I know it has levels up high, but I'm asking is it located on higher ground? Realizing, of course, in NO, higher ground is relative.

is it located on higher ground? It's built up to be higher at its base than other structures in the area. So, yes, it is on relatively "higher ground."

NO, The Superdome is approx 14 ft below sea level and ground level. The Playing field is actually lower than that.
If NO floods they will basically have 100,000 people trapped in the upper deck in a domed structure with no power and a 20 ft lake below them.

Last time I was there, the dome appeared to be built on a 20 foot or so mound. I think they took elevation into account when it was built and purposely built it up. The parking lot is low though.
Don't hold me to it, it was about 6 years ago since I was there.
