Giant cranes were in place this week along the Poydras Street side of the Superdome as Phase 3 of a $450 million renovation project gets underway.
Main entrances are being converted into giant atriums with escalators to speed fans up to their seats.
The renovations will include new club seats on the sidelines, better food amenities and faster travel in the stadium.
The faster travel will be made possible by massive new escalators in two atriums now being built along Poydras Street in the corners of the dome that will send fans from the second floor straight to the fifth.
Phase 3 will also allow the relocation of the team store to Poydras Street near the ground-level ticket window. It will also include wider concourses, made possible by the removal of 80,000 square feet of pedestrian ramps.
