Sugar Bowl New Orleans Sport reviews
Great Atmosphere, Zero Legroom
The overall Sugar Bowl experience was awesome! My daughter was recently accepted to Baylor so we made the 8 hour drive from Florida to see them play. Unfortunately, even though we had great seats (game view wise), I’m tall and the seats had zero leg room! Thank god we were row 28 and no one was behind us so I could stand up. I stood roughly 95% of the game because the only place for my legs when I sat were into my daughter’s space and the person’s to my other side. I don’t think I’ll visit the Superdome again because of this.
What a disappointment!
So looking forward to going to the Sugar Bowl. The Tailgate Town area was vibrant and cool, but the music was to loud to carry on a conversation. And everything was so outrageously priced, even for an event of this size. $12 for one can of beer?? $15 for a double pour bourbon, that was actually more coke than booze. Inside, the superdome, the seats are configured to the space, so some are superwide and comfortable, while others are like a jump seat on an airplane. Bigger people were uncomfortable and in pain trying to wedge into seats much smaller than the middle seats on an airline. Again, food in the dome was exorbitant, even for a big venue... $6 for a .15 cent bag of popcorn, cooked weeks ago. A whole pizza, normally about a $8 or less depending if you were not on the sacred ground of the superdome, was $29. Should be some requirement to list seat widths prior to purchasing, the seat I paid for should not have cost as much as the seat above me, since it was 4-5 inches wider.
Decent
Lines to get in weren’t bad. Concessions were bad, CC reader wouldn’t work at the first try so the cashier was running them 3-4 times each to get a read. She gave up and let the guy in front of me leave with a huge order at no charge. My 2 bottled waters finally went through on the 3rd try so I got to pay. Not sure why I couldn’t keep the cap, so of course half of my water was spilled. Before halftime, the main concession stand didn’t have hot dogs or peanuts, so the only food offered was nachos or popcorn. Bathrooms were being remodelled so everyone was outside using portables, nowhere to wash hands. Good game and everything else was fine, but guest amenities were pretty bad.
