Next to the St. Louis Cathedral and the Crescent City Connection, the Superdome is a visual icon of the city, completing the well-known skyline of the Big Easy. Through the ups and downs of football to playing host to the likes of The Rolling Stones and Muhammed Ali, The Superdome has seen the city through many phases since its opening. One, most notable, was the domed building’s role in Hurricane Katrina. 

As the home of the New Orleans Saints celebrates its 50th anniversary and we look back on 20 years since Katrina, this episode we’re taking a journey from the beginning with Evan Holmes. 

Holmes is the General Manager of the now-named Caesars Superdome, as well as the Smoothie King Center and ASM New Orleans.
