Doug Thornton Dome Quotations

I think it could be a symbol perhaps of the rebuilding of New Orleans. There are a lot of good memories in the dome too.

We're working to make the Dome ready for the next season.

One guy asked me why we wouldn't just want to tear down the Dome because it harbors so many bad memories of the storm, but we had 30 years of good memories here before the hurricane. It could be a symbol for the rebuilding of New Orleans, something people could rally around.

It's very early at this point to speculate about the future of the Dome and whether it can be repaired.

They'll tell us if we should rehabilitate the dome or demolish it and start over.

If everything goes well, we will have the dome football-ready in November. The seating areas, locker rooms and press box will be ready and up to NFL standards.
