Caesars Superdome in New Orleans is gearing up to welcome thousands of football fans for today’s game.
The official account for the space shared a throwback post on Instagram of Super Bowl XX, which took place at the “Louisiana Superdome” in 1986.
That year, “guest attendance was 73,818” for a game between the AFC’s New England Patriots and the NFC’s Chicago Bears, according to the post.
This year, NOLA is ready to play host once more.
The NFL said it’s removing the words “End Racism” from the end zones at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans ahead of today’s Super Bowl.
Instead, the field will have stencils of the phrase “Choose Love” as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement on Tuesday.
Throughout the 2024-2025 season, NFL teams have advertised pro-diversity slogans at their stadiums and on their uniforms. The field stencils have been a part of the league since 2020, McCarthy said.
The NFL said Tuesday that it would only have stenciling of the phrase “Choose Love.” Sunday’s game will now be the first Super Bowl since February 2021 that “End Racism” will not be included in an end zone stencil.
