The Saints have had two homes since their first season in 1967: Tulane Stadium for eight seasons, then the Superdome since 1975. Hurricane Katrina is the big exception. In 2005 the Saints spent a season on the road, and the Superdome reopened for them in September 2006.
Here is each home in order, with the years the Saints played there, what made it matter and what stands on the site today. Each stadium links to our full guide.

Saints Stadium FAQ
Where did the Saints play before the Superdome?
At Tulane Stadium on the Tulane University campus, from their first season in 1967 through 1974. It was also the site of Tom Dempsey’s record 63-yard field goal in 1970 and of three Super Bowls.
How many stadiums have the Saints had?
Two regular homes: Tulane Stadium and the Superdome, now Caesars Superdome. The temporary 2005 venues and a 2021 game moved to Jacksonville’s TIAA Bank Field because of Hurricane Ida are not counted as homes.
Where did the Saints play during Hurricane Katrina?
Katrina damaged the Superdome before the 2005 season. The Saints’ home opener against the Giants was moved to Giants Stadium in New Jersey, and the rest of their home games were split between the Alamodome in San Antonio (three games) and LSU’s Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge (four games). After a $185 million renovation, the Saints returned to the Superdome on September 25, 2006, beating the Falcons 23–3.
Is Tulane Stadium still standing?
No. Tulane and the Saints both moved to the Superdome in 1975, and the old stadium was demolished between November 1979 and June 1980. Tulane’s Yulman Stadium stands just north of the old site.
Where do the Saints play now?
At Caesars Superdome in downtown New Orleans, home of the Saints since 1975. It seats about 73,000 and has hosted eight Super Bowls, the most of any stadium.
