Hey Saints!

I help run GatorTailgating.com and I'm trying to get information to put on our site about tailgating at the Superdome for the Sugar Bowl

We want to have the answers to all of the tailgating questions when it comes to traveling to New Orleans… where the good side of town to stay is, where to eat some good food, where to park on gameday, how much to expect to pay to park, any specific rules about tailgating, open container policies, gameday traditions, etc.
Anyway, any help, tips, etc would be greatly appreciated!
Questions:

1. Where are the good and bad areas of town for motels to stay in the night before/after the big game?

2. What are some lesser known attractions in New Orleans that a visitor shouldn't miss? (i.e. nightclubs, bars, theme parks, tourist attractions, etc.)

3. Where should a visiting fan go to eat before leaving New Orleans? (avoiding chain restaurants, etc)

4. How much should we expect to pay for a parking spot (preferably unblocked so there's enough room to setup tents, tables, and a grill to tailgate)?

5. Are there any special rules we should know about tailgating, open-container policies we should be forewarned about, or anything of the sort?


6. Any Sugar Bowl gameday traditions that you know about and shouldn’t miss?

7. Is there anything else you would advise fans of before heading to New Orleans to tailgate?
