Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 51, § 291. Purpose

This Subpart is enacted pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph (T) of Section 47 of Article XIV of the Louisiana Constitution authorizing the Legislature to more fully define the rights and obligations of the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District.

The legislature hereby finds and declares that the terms “Superdome”, “Louisiana Superdome”, “Dome (d) Stadium”, “Louisiana Dome (d) Stadium”, and “Louisiana Dome”, and the general design, appearance and configuration of the stadium being constructed by the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, and the following logo--“L'S”--which comprises three elements (a) a curved line which follows the general configuration of the Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana, (b) a straight vertical line across the curved line which generally represents the Greater Mississippi River Bridge, and (c) a circular dot which generally represents the approximate geographical location of the stadium facility, are particularly, exclusively and uniquely descriptive in the State of Louisiana of the stadium being constructed by the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is therefore within the public interest that these terms and said general design, appearance and configuration of the stadium and the special “L'S” logo be reserved to the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District in order to prevent unauthorized commercial exploitation thereof, it being the intent hereof that said terms and said general design, appearance and configuration and said special “L'S” logo be used commercially in the state of Louisiana only when authorized by the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District.
