Overview

• Owner Gayle Benson and Gov. Jeff Landry signed the agreement, concluding talks that stretched across administrations and major local events.
• The deal replaces the prior 2030 end date and includes four five-year options that could keep the team in the venue through 2055.
• The state also agreed to a 10-year lease for offices in the Benson Tower next to the stadium.
• The Caesars Superdome is state-owned, recently completed roughly $450 million in renovations, and hosted Super Bowl LIX in February.
• Officials said the pact secures the franchise’s local presence and economic benefits, and the Saints will send the signed lease to the NFL to enable bidding discussions, including for 2031.
