Superdome officials will flip the switch on a new LED lighting system this week, illuminating the outside of the 36-year-old stadium in a spectrum of animated colors and images. New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, Superdome commission Chairman Ron Forman and SMG Senior Vice President Doug Thornton will host a free-to-the-public lighting ceremony to showcase the capabilities of the $1.6 million permanent system that will be set to a musical soundtrack. The ceremony is slated to begin at 7:15 p.m. Thursday at Champions Square. Dome officials say the system will be used on a nightly basis, reflecting multiple colors and images, including the logo of Mercedes-Benz, which recently purchased naming rights to the stadium.
