I once was a resident of the Big Easy & although I probably wouldn't live there again, more than anything I'd love to be able to come back to Louisiana just to feel that pulse once again. Soon, VERY soon, I will make my way home. This is going to not only N.O. on a national stage, but the state of Louisiana, as well.

GO SAINTS !!!

Honestly I think this is bigger than a Superbowl for the city. It's like an emotional Superbowl with the Saints in it where they play in their home town and everyone has come to town just to watch what happens.

For all the crap talk the media does, they along with the NFL are putting a huge shot in the arm for the area. Local businesses will get a great boost from this. Hope it happens again next year.
