The Saints' $11M locker room upgrade

Fans aren't the only ones getting new Superdome experiences.

Zoom in: Saints players also got a swanky $11 million locker room upgrade paid for by team owner Gayle Benson, team officials said yesterday.

State of play: Media members were among the first to see the improvements, and the impression was pretty darn swanky.

• The space offers mood lighting, minimalist design in black and gold and a fleur de lis soaring overhead.
• Former Saints placekicker Garrett Hartley said the space was perfect for getting in the right head space before a game, or celebrating after a win.
