Louisiana wants FEMA to upgrade Superdome

Tags: , ,

Apparently they forgot to add something to their $250 billion aid package. Tim Coulon, chairman of the Louisiana Stadium and Expedition District, wants FEMA to pay to upgrade the Superdome so it can be used as a shelter in the future. If FEMA won't pay, he says it shouldn't be used. They want upgraded bathrooms, an enlarged concourse (could double as the latter in a pinch), and the like. They also want insurance companies to pay part of this.
