Jeff Duncan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports a proposed $700 million project could enhance the game experience for football fans at the Superdome. The project calls for a 20-acre, multilevel park that would extend to the perimeter of the Superdome and could be used for tailgating. The plan would convert the top floor of the Superdome parking garage into 3.9 acres of green space and connect via foot bridges the stadium area to the renovated Hyatt hotel and local parking lots. Team officials and football fans long have complained about the Superdome's lack of tailgating space.

Spend the $700 million trying to move the city out of the swimming pool.

With the payoffs you would have to make to the mob and the politicians it would be over a billion for a new stadium in New Orleans.
