I think what's hilarious about this is Mercedes Benz putting their name on a shoddy product. If I was Benz and I was going to put their name on a stadium, I'd put it on the Cowboys or Cards, although that would probably cost more money. The Superdome recently just finished renovations from the damage from Hurricane Katrina, but like the old saying goes you can't put lipstick on a pig.

I'm a Saints season ticket holder. It is fairly modern after the renovations, and one of the best venues I've ever attended a sporting match. I have been to over 10 professional stadiums and over 20 college or minor league stadiums. The Superdome as a venue, is at the top in atmosphere/good times as any I have visited. What it may lack in cosmetics/modernism, it by far makes up for in sheer "fun place to watch a game".
