When I first visited the Superdome I was about 10 years old and it was one of the only fully enclosed stadiums at the time. It was a really cool feeling walking onto the field and seeing how large it was. Looking up at the lights and seeing all of the seats was very overwhelming, and at that time it brought a lot of excitement to me.

Now when I see the Superdome I get a much different feeling due to what it was used for during Hurricane Katrina. I have not been inside since the hurricane, but when I drive by it I feel a sense of sadness from all that went on there. While it is still an awesome building, there is also more meaning to it now than there was before.
