History

Historical Context

After Hurricane Katrina ripped two holes in the Superdome’s roof on August 29 2005, Governor Kathleen Blanco ordered evacuation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers oversaw repairs. FEMA contributed $115 million toward a total $185 million restoration, allowing the venue to reopen for the Saints’ home opener on September 25 2006. The disaster illustrates how extreme weather can halt major event schedules.
