Okay, so, let me tell you about my little adventure figuring out the seating situation at the Superdome. I needed to grab some tickets for a game, and, man, was I confused at first.

I started by looking at a seating chart online. I pulled up the Superdome’s official seating chart and started to really take a close look. The place is huge, with tons of sections, rows, and seat numbers. I wanted to understand the layout, you know? Club seats, suites, the whole deal. I spent a good hour just clicking around, getting a feel for the place.
Then, I went down a rabbit hole reading reviews. Some folks were saying, “Great seats in the top section!” and I’m thinking, “Okay, good to know.” But then others were like, “Occasionally obstructed view by the elevated camera operator.” That made me pause. I don’t want to miss any of the action because of some camera guy, right?
I even found this one comment where someone was saying how the field seats are the best for concerts. They’re right on the field, close to the stage. I made a mental note of that for later, just in case I ever need concert tickets.
- Found the official seating chart.
- Checked out reviews for different sections.
- Learned about the field seats for concerts.
There was this one review that really got me. This person described how to get to the worst seat in the whole place. They said you gotta ride five, yeah, five escalators, walk halfway around the stadium, climb up 38 more steps, and then duck under this low awning. That’s where you’d find section 628, row 22, seat 6. I definitely don’t want that seat.
Another review mentioned that the sideline is a good spot. And they were talking about how many seats might be available depending on which teams are playing. Like, they said Lions fans travel well, so I figure those games might be more packed. Noted.

After a couple of hours of this, I felt like I had a pretty good handle on things. I looked at the lower-level seats, the upper-level sections, and even those fancy premium suites, though those are way out of my budget, I think at that time.
My Takeaway
So, yeah, that was my deep dive into the Superdome seating chart. I went in not knowing a thing and came out feeling like a semi-pro. Now, I can confidently pick out some decent seats without ending up behind a pole or a mile away from the action. It is really important, right?
