That would cost $30 (million) to $40 million. |
The project on the Square is an outstanding one and the new clock will certainly be a compliment to our Court Square. |
The Superdome is covered through risk management. We have $100 million for flood protection and $500 million for storm damage. |
They'll tell us if we should rehabilitate the dome or demolish it and start over. |
This will make this a better building for all the users, whatever happens to the Saints. |
We don't expect to take any water. But we wanted them up higher in case. |
We were down to an hour-and-a-half of fuel. |
We're working to make the Dome ready for the next season. |
We've got to be cost-effective here. You've got to be really careful, otherwise you're going to be spending a million or $2 million just to patch the roof. |
We've not had the opportunity to discuss what role SMG will play, but we've offered our assistance to the extent that it is necessary. LSU and the Saints want our help. |
You get the feeling that if you could take this thing down to the bare walls and replace some of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (systems), you could be back in business. I don't know how long that would take, but structurally the building seems to be in pretty good shape. |
