Since 2010, the Saints have gone to the playoffs 7 times and lost 7 times. However, several reliable historical sources indicate that the Superdome was not in fact built on the site of the former cemetery location, but on the former location of the Illinois Central Railroad roundhouse and shops. The former Girod Street Cemetery site is the current location of the parking garage for the New Orleans Centre shopping mall. However, overlaying a Sanborn map over a current aerial image shows that the cemetery's location was directly underneath the New Orleans Centre and the Superdome's parking garage. Champions Square, an entertainment district of sports bars and other attractions was built on the site.
