I am really looking forward to football season this year. The Saints are bound to create a buzz around town whether they have a good season or not. I’m thinking they are going to do ok this year.

Super Bowl in New Orleans?

Monday, May 26th, 2008

An Article in yesterdays Times Picayune would indicate that New Orleans might have a shot at the 2013 Super bowl. That would be a big boost to the local economy, it would also mean that the Saints would be in New Orleans for a while. The NFL will not schedule a Super bowl if the team doesn’t have a lease with the state for the Super Dome. At times I have wondered if professional sports franchises were worth the deals that teams make with local governments. Pro sports in New Orleans has been a huge morale builder for locals, many who are still rebuilding their lives.
