1. NO will never be the same

It will be a tourist place that will make rich all the bad people who let Katrina happen. Patronizing the place will put more $$$ in their pockets.

2. Not a museum - a memorial.

I said this in another thread (which I can't find since I can't find my own posts) - I think the interior of the dome needs to be sealed in lucite or whatever. Send folks in in Hazmat gear and seal everything. Preserve it *EXACTLY* as it is now. Don't let anyone "clean it up" or "make it pretty" or anything else.

Let it stand as a memorial to those who died.

Let it stand as a testament to the stupidity and indifference of our government.

Let it stand as a lesson to our children's children that they never allow the same thing to happen again.

Edit to change title...

3. CNN: Superdome, refuge for thousands, may have to be torn down

The Louisiana Superdome was so heavily damaged by last week's Hurricane Katrina that it likely will have to be torn down, according to a spokeswoman for James Lee Witt, the former Federal Emergency Management Agency director now advising Louisiana's governor.

Katrina sheared away much of the roof's covering, and rainwater began leaking into the stadium when it was being used as a shelter of last resort for thousands of residents stranded by the storm.

The Superdome is the home of the New Orleans Saints professional football team. The NFL season begins this weekend, and it is not clear where the Saints will play this season.

4. Forget it and just plow it under...

Think of places such as Chernobyl. The inside of that place is reported to be littered with human feces among other detrius. As a result, it cannot be possibly cleaned well enough to support passage. Plow it under and at least erect a memorial on the spot for those who suffered there.
