Saints Announce New Caesars Superdome Lease, Will Remain in New Orleans Through 2035

The New Orleans Saints aren't going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

The NFC South team announced Thursday it agreed to a new 10-year lease with the state of Louisiana (h/t ESPN's Katherine Terrell). As a result, the Saints will stay in New Orleans through 2035 at the earliest.

New Orleans' previous lease was not set beyond 2030.

"Discussions about this agreement have spanned two administrations, a global pandemic and Hurricane Ida," Saints owner Gayle Benson said. "Now today, I am totally happy that we will be sending a signed copy of this agreement to the NFL for their approval."

She also said the team plans on working with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to bid for future Super Bowls once the league approves the lease extension after missing the first deadline to bid on the 2031 game.

The Superdome hosted Super Bowl LIX in February when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Superdome is synonymous with the Saints and has hosted the team since it opened in August 1975.

It is one of the most iconic venues in the league and has hosted Super Bowls XII, XV, XX, XXIV, XXXI, XXXVI, XLVII, LIX. It was also the Saints' home stadium during the 2009 season, when they won their only Super Bowl in franchise history.

There probably won't be a Super Bowl this season for New Orleans, as the Saints are 0-4 and in last place in the NFC South.

They will look to turn things around Sunday in that very venue when they face the New York Giants at home.
