Upcoming New Orleans Saints dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
The Best Saints Seat for You
If you want the best football angle at a New Orleans Saints game, buy the Loge Club on a sideline at the Caesars Superdome. If you want the best value, buy the 500-level Upper Box at the front of the upper deck. If you want to be close without paying club prices, buy a Plaza sideline seat in the teens or higher. Avoid the top Terrace corners and end zones.
The dome's fixed roof takes weather off the table, so you never need to think about sun or rain. What you do need to think about is noise: the enclosed bowl holds sound in, and a full house makes life hard for opposing offenses. The season runs September into early January.
Superdome Levels, Decoded
The Superdome holds 73,208 for football and grows to 76,468 for its biggest events. It uses level names as well as section numbers:
- Plaza, the 100s. The lower bowl, nearest the field.
- Loge Club, the 200s and 300s. Two short club levels running along both sidelines, with lounge access.
- Upper Box, the 500s. The front rows of the upper deck.
- Terrace, the 600s. The rest of the upper deck, rising to the top of the dome.
Seating guides place sections such as 259, 340 and 641 on the Saints side. Treat that as a guide, not a guarantee, and confirm the sideline on the seat map before paying a premium for it.
Where the Value Is, and Where It Isn't
Worth the money
- Loge Club sideline. Raised just enough above the field to see everything, and priced as the premium choice it is.
- Plaza sideline, teens and up. Close to the action while clearing the players and staff along the bench.
- 500-level Upper Box. A full-field view from the front of the upper deck, often the best ratio of view to price in the building.
- Midfield Terrace. The budget pick. Section 641, for example, has entrances at rows 7 and 22, so you climb less than the section height suggests.
Not worth it
- High Terrace corners and end zones. Distant from the field and at a steep angle, these are the weakest seats under the roof.
- Front Plaza rows behind a bench, if you want to follow the whole game rather than the sideline.
Dates That Sell First
A short August preseason leads into a 17-game regular season from September into early January, with eight or nine games in New Orleans, and the playoffs begin in mid-January.
- Atlanta Falcons. The oldest rivalry in the division and the first game most fans look for. The series has been nearly even across more than 100 meetings.
- Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Division stakes and traveling fans keep demand steady.
- Night games. The dome gets even louder under the lights, and national interest follows.
- Festival and convention weekends. The city fills up, so hotels can be scarcer than tickets. Book lodging early.
- Preseason. The lowest-demand dates and an easy first visit.
Resale prices often move most in the last few days before kickoff, once playoff stakes and the opponent's form are clear. If you want a specific area, such as the Loge Club, buy before the final rush.
From Hotel to Seat
The Superdome stands at 1500 Sugar Bowl Drive, within walking distance of many hotels downtown and in the French Quarter. The Loyola Avenue streetcar stops at Poydras Street near the stadium and links to the Canal Street line. Rideshare pickups have used Poydras Street between Loyola Avenue and Carondelet Street, inside a geofence, which means the app will only let you request a car once you are inside that zone.
For the 2025 season, the doors opened two hours before kickoff, and Champions Square, the outdoor plaza next to the dome that hosts the main pregame party, opened three hours ahead for ticket holders. Stadium garages go mostly to season ticket holders, with few game-day spaces, and parking passes have been mobile only.
As of the 2025 season, the NFL clear-bag rule applied: one clear bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches or a clear one-gallon freezer bag, plus a clutch of roughly 4.5 by 6.5 inches. Tickets were mobile only, through the team app or the SeatGeek app, and the building was cashless. Rules change, so review the Saints gameday playbook before you go. Every Reserved Seat order includes guaranteed entry.
When the Saints Travel
Saints fans are known for turning up in road stadiums, and the Falcons game in Atlanta is the trip that matters most. Tampa and Charlotte both work as weekend getaways. In opposing stadiums, visiting fans tend to cluster in upper-deck and end zone sections.
The Saints Story, Briefly
The NFL granted New Orleans a franchise on November 1, 1966, and play began in 1967. In the very first game, John Gilliam ran the opening kickoff back 94 yards for a touchdown. The name comes from the jazz standard "When the Saints Go Marching In," the fleur-de-lis reflects the city's French roots, and the black and old gold colors were a nod to the oil business of the first owner. The team played at Tulane Stadium through 1974 before moving into the Superdome in 1975.
Success came slowly. In 1970, Tom Dempsey kicked a 63-yard field goal against Detroit, a record at the time, but the first winning season did not arrive until 1987, at 12–3, and the first playoff victory came in the 2000 season over the defending champion St. Louis Rams. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, home games moved to Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, the Alamodome in San Antonio and Giants Stadium. When the Superdome reopened in 2006, Steve Gleason blocked a punt on Atlanta's opening possession of a 23–3 win, a play that came to stand for the city's recovery.
The peak followed: a 31–17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010, in Miami Gardens, still the team's only Super Bowl appearance. The franchise counts nine division titles and 14 playoff trips. After the 2018 season, a missed pass-interference call late in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams became one of the most argued-over calls the league has seen. Tom Benson owned the team from 1985 until his death in 2018; Gayle Benson, his wife, has owned it since. The mascots are Gumbo and Sir Saint, and the fans answer to Who Dat.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Loge Club at the Superdome?
It is the premium club seating in the 200s and 300s along both sidelines, with lounge access. It offers the best football angle in the building.
Which Superdome seats should I avoid for a Saints game?
The high Terrace corners and end zones in the 600s are the weakest seats, far from the field and at a sharp angle.
Is the climb to the Terrace level as long as it looks?
Not always. Some sections have mid-section entrances; section 641, for example, has entrances at rows 7 and 22.
Can I park at the Superdome on game day?
Spaces are limited. Stadium garages are held mostly by season ticket holders, so many fans walk from downtown hotels or take the Loyola Avenue streetcar.
How loud is the Superdome during Saints games?
Very loud. The fixed roof traps crowd noise, which is part of the home-field advantage.
When did the Saints win the Super Bowl?
After the 2009 season. They beat the Indianapolis Colts 31–17 in Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010.
