"With its central location in one of the world’s top party towns, just 20 minutes by foot from the intersection of Canal and Bourbon Streets, the Caesars Superdome is an absolute scene on game days. Chants of “Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?” ring out as New Orleans Saints fans bedecked in black and gold parade through the streets and tailgate officially at Champions Square and unofficially under overpasses around the stadium, which will host Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025. Some stadiums phone it all the way in for their captive audiences, but the Dome makes a legitimate effort. “Since New Orleans is such an iconic culinary city, we make sure to offer dishes that reflect the local cuisine, and those items tend to be some of our most popular,” says Lenny Martinsen, regional executive chef of Sodexo Live!, which handles food and beverage operations at the Superdome as well as the adjacent Smoothie King Center, home of the New Orleans Pelicans basketball team, and the nearby National WWII Museum. The shrimp basket and jambalaya from Bayou Market stalls are the stadium’s most popular dishes, while seafood nachos, po’boys, and gumbo have become fan favorites in recent years. Want to nosh on alligator sausage? No problem here. How about jumbo baked potatoes stuffed with Louisiana crawfish or turducken? Those are the latest crowd pleasers to hit the menu. Martinsen has been with the Saints for 18 seasons and one Super Bowl already. He and his team go through a staggering quantity of food and drink throughout each home game, including around 500 gallons of local beer from the likes of Abita Brewing Company; 1,000 pounds of Gulf shrimp; and 200 gallons of daiquiris among 2,400 gallons of cocktails. Given the competition in the area, Martinsen says it’s all about trying to learn from fan feedback and complement the game-day experience to create memorable moments. “There’s something about eating a hearty gumbo while watching the Saints play [live] that you just can’t get outside the Superdome.”" - Adam H. Callaghan
