Okay, so, I had to get this seating chart for the Superdome, right? It was a bit of a scramble, but I got it done, and now I’m gonna walk you through it, just like I did it.
First off, I started by looking up what the Superdome actually is, you know, just to get my bearings. Turns out, this place is huge! It’s in New Orleans and it’s not just any stadium – it’s the world’s largest steel-constructed arena without any columns or posts blocking your view. It is a big one, I can tell you, because it needed 20,000 tons of steel to create it. The roof area is 9.7 acres, or 440,000 square feet. And it is 273 feet from the floor to the roof. I read that to reach the worst seat in the Superdome, you have to ride five escalators, walk halfway around the stadium, climb 38 more steps, and duck your head under a low-hanging awning. Crazy, right?
Then, I began searching for the seating chart. I needed something that would give me a clear picture of where everything is. I went straight to the place where you can buy tickets, figuring they’d have the most accurate chart, and I found it! They call it “interactive seating maps”. This one is really a good one.
Once I got the basic layout, I began focusing on specific sections. I wanted to know about the best and worst seats. Like, where should I aim to sit if I want a killer view? And where should I avoid if I don’t want to be stuck behind a pole or something?
- Best Seats: I found out that the lower levels, especially around the 50-yard line, those are the prime spots. You’re close to the action, and the view is pretty much unobstructed.
- Worst Seats: The upper levels, particularly in the corners or behind the end zones, those can be a bit rough. You’re pretty far from the field, and sometimes there are those overhangs that can block part of the view. For example, the highest seat is section 628, row 22, seat 6, which is directly behind one of the baskets.
- Club Seats: I did a little digging on these. They say the club seats are pretty sweet because they offer some extra legroom. But some of them have an obstructed view of the stage.
After I checked out the different views, I thought, “What if I want to visit the team store?” So I found the info on that, too. They have a shop right there at Gate A on the ground level. It’s open Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and on Saturdays from 10 AM to 3 PM. On game days, they open two hours before the gates, which is pretty convenient.
So, that’s my rundown of figuring out the Superdome seating chart. It was a bit of a process, but I think I got a pretty good handle on it now. If you’re ever heading there, hopefully, this little guide will be of use to you, too!
