I just observed that an enclosed stadium could host events that the current stadium can't.

Switch to decaf.

Really?

So, why was New Orleans the only city to submit a bid for one of the upcoming Super Bowls?

Super Bowl LVIII: New Orleans only city bidding on 2024 game https://www.nola.com/sports/saints/article_5d64d2f5-b7b7-59bf-a646-98ea22e9dbc0.html

Why is that? Because these numbers thrown around about how much money is generated are BS. When you take into account the amount of OT and other expenses and the headaches associated with all of it, cities are finding out it isn’t worth it.

Oh wait....the new stadium will be able to host the Final Four. What do facilities do for things like the Final Four? They reconfigure it so folks can actually watch it. The Final Four could easily be hosted in the Predators arena which is more than adequate for a basketball event. An event that brings in folks for a few days, half the folks go home on Sunday after their teams lose.
