Saints agree to 5-year extension with Superdome through 2030

The New Orleans Saints are staying in the Caesars Superdome for at least five more years, as they recently reached an agreement with the state of Louisiana to extend their lease, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football.

The current lease now lasts until 2030, when they will need another deal. The Superdome has been the home of the Saints since it opened in 1975. Along with Saints football games, it hosts numerous other big events, making it important to the city of New Orleans.

The Super Bowl will be played for the seventh time at the Superdome in 2025. It has also been the home to three different LSU football championships. With other pro sports franchises relocating from well-established markets and experiencing instability, it’s good to see the Saints staying in New Orleans for the foreseeable future.
