  ENTERING THE MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME

We have heard your concerns regarding the time it sometimes takes to enter the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. While the security requirements of the NFL and the NFL bag check policy undoubtedly require a little more time to get into the stadium, a few helpful tips might help expedite your entry:!

• More than 75 percent of our fans choose to enter the stadium between Gate A (Poydras) and Gate C (Champions Square). Although we maximize the number of staff working at these entrances, this results in congested security lines and crowded concourses once inside the building. By entering at the gate assigned on your ticket, you will likely find shorter lines and help alleviate crowding in the concourses as you enter the game. We have also added to our entertainment options around the Plaza concourse in an effort to provide you with more opportunities to enjoy pregame festivities as you make your way to your recommended gate, while avoiding the more narrow concourses in the building.
• For everyone's safety, the NFL's Bag policy is here to stay and preparing for, and complying with, its requirements is the best way to ensure a smooth entry into the stadium. The entire policy can be found here. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your helping keep the Mercedes-Benz Superdome a safe place to enjoy your Saints.
• By the way, upon entering the building, keep an ear open for announcements regarding gameday policies and procedures. You'll never know whose voice you might be hearing...
  GAME EXPERIENCE AND ENTERTAINMENT

• We received feedback from fans regarding sound volume and clarity in different parts of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Working with the building manager, SMG, we have enlisted a team of audio engineers to calibrate and check the sound throughout the building before and during each game. You will see teams from PSX observing and taking sound readings during the game and we encourage you to let them know of any issues or concerns in your seating area. You may also use the in-stadium text number 69050 to let us know of any specific issues in your section.
• Music selection, both before and during the game, has been changed to include a greater variety of genres and your requests.
• There will be fewer commercials and more time dedicated to focusing on our fans, entertainment and getting you revved up to help us continue to have the best home field advantage in the NFL.
• There will be more focus on our fans in all seating sections including video and live stadium interactions/promotions.
• Later this season we will be debuting a feature that will illustrate just how loud you are each and every game, each and every defensive play…
• Anthem and halftime performers have been selected based on your responses and input to provide more of what you like, preserving great traditions while offering variety and new performers for your entertainment.
• "Crunk" will be back! More than 80 percent of you voted to keep it and we will continue to play "Crunk" after most touchdowns. Team introductions have been moved back to the single center entrance and enhanced with a new intro video and the most pyrotechnic effects allowed in the stadium for all games.    
  CONCESSIONS
   

• You asked for a greater variety of food and beverage and, working with the stadium concessionaire Centerplate, we are delivering. A number of dining options have been added to every level of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and you will be notified of weekly special items in your Game Preview email. Some examples include expanding our craft beer options by six (6) locations, adding shrimp poboys to the 500-level and enhancing the variety of healthy options including fresh fruit parfaits, vegetarian and vegan wraps and more.
