The New Orleans Saints will keep calling the Caesars Superdome home for at least another decade.
Owner Gayle Benson and Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry announced Thursday a lease extension through 2035 for the state-owned stadium. The deal replaces the previous lease, which was set to expire in 2030.
The agreement also includes four five-year options that could keep the Saints in the Superdome through 2055.
“With this agreement, we’re paving the way for more Saints victories, more Super Bowl memories, and more economic growth for Louisiana,” Landry said.
A key benefit of the extension is that it allows New Orleans to bid for the 2031 Super Bowl. The city most recently hosted the big game on Feb. 9, 2025, when the Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22.
The Superdome, opened in 1975, has hosted eight Super Bowls and undergone nearly $1 billion in repairs and upgrades since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
“The Superdome is not just a landmark in the world of sports; it’s a symbol of our state’s resilience and pride,” Landry said.
“This extension represents a continued and valued partnership … that demonstrates our intent to be here and fully committed for many decades,” Benson added.
As part of the deal, the state also extended its 10-year lease for offices in Benson Tower, the high-rise next to the stadium that Benson owns.
