The stage is set for the ultimate showdown in football. Following their epic victories in the conference championship games, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will do battle in just two weeks time to determine who will sit on the NFL throne, at least for one season. Every offseason, teams dream of reaching the Super Bowl, but it always comes down to just one team from each conference.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest spectacles in any sport. A game of such magnitude needs the right setting, so the NFL gives venues a big head start in order to prepare for the event years in advance. In 2025, the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans will be where the Chiefs and Eagles fight for football supremacy.
The Superdome is the home of the New Orleans Saints, and has been since 1975. It has also been the venue for the Sugar Bowl in college football every season since that same year. While iconic in its own right, the Superdome became synonymous with Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when it was used as a shelter for victims of the deadly natural disaster.

The Saints were forced to play all their game on the road due to damages done by the hurricane to the stadium. Eventually, the dome re-opened in 2006 and featured one of the greatest moments in league history: Steve Gleason’s blocked punt for a touchdown in the team’s first home game since the disaster.
Caesars Superdome has hosted seven Super Bowls in its 50-year history
Since 2011, the capacity for the dome has been 73,208, although it’s expandable to 76,468. Seven Super Bowls have been hosted at the Superdome, with the most recent being in 2013.
