After being down there last year, I do not think that having it at the Superdome would be a very practical idea. The only place that I saw that could hold the pits was a big glass building nearby, and it was an outdoor commute to get to the dome. In New Orleans, an outdoor commute would not be a good idea, especially when the cargo you are moving is these robots.
On the other hand, in the 2015 water game, the robots will be waterproofed anyway, so it would not matter if it stormed!
Edit: After doing some research, that building is the New Orleans arena. I am doing further research to see if there is an indoor commute that I missed (possibly underground).
Edit 2: I could not find anything about an indoor commute, but this pdf is a good read for anybody interested in maybe having the Superdome as a spot for Championships:
