Parking
The complex has seven public parking garages (#1, #1A, #2, #2A, #5, #6, Champions Garage) and two surface lots (Lot 3, Lot 4), accommodating approximately 7,000 vehicles. Parking facilities accept credit and debit cards only, with no cash accepted. Re-entry and overnight parking are prohibited. RVs and buses are generally not allowed in parking garages; Surface Lot 3 may offer day parking for RVs but fills quickly. Enhanced vehicle screening with EOD canine sweeps may be conducted for some parking placards.
Family & accessibility
- Strollers: Strollers are allowed into the Superdome. Patrons may check them at the Guest Relations Center located within the concourse at Gate F Plaza Level, or keep them in seating areas as long as they do not impede walkways or sightlines of other patrons.
- Family perks: Baby changing stations are available in restrooms throughout various levels of the stadium. During Saints games, guests can check out KultureCity Sensory Bags, which include fidget toys, weighted lap pads, and noise-canceling headphones. Sensory rooms are located at Gate A Loge Level Connector and Claiborne Market – Glass Room. Children under 2 years of age generally do not require a ticket for admission but need a ticket to occupy their own seat.
