The Great Hizzy! Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Interesting. Thanks for the link, Rush.One question, though--and I apparently missed it in the article, but I thought the state was looking to contribute the bulk of the funds for either the Superdome renovation or a new stadium?

Houstonrush Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 I hope New Orleans does not build it. Louisiana's love the Superdome. It was just remolded a couple of years back, but nasty Benson wants more. Hizzy the state will subsidize part of the stadium if built but not the bulk of it.

Dan the Man Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 This project has been canceled. The Superdome will be remodeled, and Arthur Davis (one of the original architects) will act as a consultant in the remodeling process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
