“If it were my decision, I'd knock the Superdome down.…” quote by Ray Nagin — Download Open image

“If it were my decision, I'd knock the Superdome down. If I couldn't knock it down, I'd just open the roof and gut the whole inside - totally modernize it. If you just dust it off and paint a little bit but don't reimage it, the legacy will be horrible.”
