Just got word that Voila is selling a package deal to get in for SB Sunday. $75.00/person includes table and all you can eat and drink. It doesn't say anything on thier website, a friend just called and let me know. Dub, get in touch ASAP.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

If you can’t be in Sun Life Stadium in Miami for Super Bowl XLIV Sunday, Feb. 7, the next best place is certain to be the Big Easy.

No doubt, fans will be packed into every bar, restaurant and other venues in the French Quarter and beyond to cheer the home-team New Orleans Saints, going to the “big game” for the very first time to take on the Indianapolis Colts.

The New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation began compiling a list of local sports bars on its neworleansonline.com Web site last week. Among those listed are The Avenue Pub, 1732 St. Charles Ave.; Cooter Brown’s, 509 S. Carrollton Ave.; and Ernst Café, 600 S. Peters St. For the complete list, go to New Orleans Online - The City of New Orleans' Official Tourism Web Site.

The Prytania Theatre, 5339 Prytania St., showed the NFC Championship Game between the Saints and the Minnesota Vikings on its big screen, and it will be doing the same thing for the Super Bowl.

Admission is free.

If you’re planning to make a weekend of it, several hotels are offering deals and special packages.

Discounts include International House, 30 percent; Country Inn & Suites French Quarter, 20 percent; Ambassador; 40 percent; Le Pavillon, 25 percent; Queen & Crescent, 40 percent; Royal St. Charles, 30 percent; Hilton Garden Inn Convention Center, 20 percent; and Loft 523, 40 percent. Of course, these rooms are probably going fast, so check with the hotel on availability.

The Marriott, 55 Canal St., is offering the Saints Finish Strong package, starting at $179 per night. The package features overnight accommodations for stays Feb. 5-8, two Saints hats and a game day snack pack including a Saints cooler, beer and chips.

The Marriott’s 55 Farenheit Bar will be showing the game on its 9-foot by 12-foot screen, and on other TVs throughout the bar. There will be giveaways, prizes or drawings for every touchdown the Saints score, plus drink and food specials.

For more information, call (866) 530-3763 or go to New Orleans Marriott Hotel: A Luxurious Hotel in New Orleans French Quarter and use rate code SPE.

If you really want to splurge, you can reserve the Suite Super Bowl party package and stay two nights in the Ritz-Carlton’s Presidential Suite, 921 Canal St. The package for 10 includes complimentary parking, tailgate buffet party, black and gold Mojitos, and hangover remedies and Kir Royals the next day. The package is priced at $9,999 in honor of #9 Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

WHO'S READY!!??

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

The Corner Bar (Lafayette Square) will be a good place too!

Oh man, I'm gonna have to have a catheter installed.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

My mom and I are throwing a Cajun themed Super Bowl party this Sunday. It's the closest thing to New Orleans that we have. Plus, Deadwood is having their annual Mardi Gras parades the night before, so I will have a piece of New Orleans culture with me this weekend. Can't wait!

Who Dat! :bng:

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

We will know the location on where we are watching the game in a couple of days. Stay tuned!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Kabby's at the Hilton by the river has 24 42" tv's to view from...

Kabby's Sports Bar and Restaurant

Gotta have some decent size tv's, man!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

That sounds good. I just found out from nogumbo4u that bourbon st blues club has 3 for 1 the whole game. We can all decided on a place here soon.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Do we have to pay a cover charge????

Kabbys sounds good to me. keep the suggestions coming.... everybody needs to check this thread regularly, if you want a voice in the political process.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

How many people can they accomadate and do you need to make a reservation?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

crap. "reservations."

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I too am having a few friends over. The surround sound arrives Wednesday or Thursday. Making Red beans and rice and chicken and sausage gumbo. Will have a 10 foot "Who-Dat" banner on front of the house, and the speakers outside with the Zydeco filling the neighborhood.

Oh, I also have a few morter shells and rolls of firecrackers for after the game... Will one of you come bail me out?

WHO-DAT!!!!

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Now what's the plan?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

for what???

let's decide real soon ... times-a-wasting ...

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Yeah the Hilton isn't that far from where will be staying, and a quick walk to FQ when all hell breaks loose after the closing gun...

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Cargojon, got any info on the Hilton? give us some input.

ok guys, we may have found our spot. Just spoke with the Pope of the Hou-Dats, here in Houston ,(our local chapter of Hou-Dat Nation) Ed. (SuperDome on this board) For those who havent met him, he's about as New Orleans as it gets. Dome didnt know Mardi Gras was not a national holiday till about age 21.

Anyway, Im hearing disturbing reports about $190 cover charges disguised as "special fan packages." Without removing democracy from this discussion, I think I can speak for the group in saying, we dont want none of that.

So after much research we have come up with Inn on Bourbon as a really nice candidate. 10 dollar cover. Thats reasonable, considering.

heres the menu: Jambalaya; Sausage & Chicken Gumbo; BBQ Pork Sandwich; Hot Dogs; Wings; Fried Oysters; Nacho’s w/guacamole cheese & jalapenos; Potato Salad; Cobb Salad; Fresh Baked Cookies; Zapps Chips. Each item is ordered as an individual serving.

One deal with them, they're not taking reservations, so I'd have to get there early & get us a table. Somebody else would probably need to come early too.

of course, its INN ON BOURBON, so its going to kinda be in the middle of things, to say the least.

discussion?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

My wife and I are sort of leaning towards Deanies right now. I know it's a little pricey at $125 a person plus tip but open bar and food plus being in there with Bobby and the pregame show and point after not to mention during the game sounds interesting. Still not 100% sure but that's what we are leaning towards.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I wish I could afford Deanies.

Hey, even if we dont all go to the same place, we can certainly hang before and after.

Here's one place I think we should stop in our carousing saturday night:
Can you see the fountain?

718 saint peter street, new orleans - Google Maps

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I know what you mean about affording deanies but as my wife said last night that I was ready to fly to Miami so if I was willing to pay a few grand to go to Miami I could spare $300 or so to go to Deanies. Hopefully this is the first of many trips but you don't get to play in the superbowl every year so spend the money and enjoy the ride. The way I see it is that I'll be brown bagging lunch until the end of March but oh well.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I stayed at the Hilton in Jan 07 when we came down for the Eagles playoff game. Nice place, I don't have any specific into on their program for the SB though...We'll be staying near the convention center this time...

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Well, we went the Deanies route. Assign seating at the bar, all you can eat and drink $125. I think I can do some damage on the all you can drink part.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Well Downtown will no doubt be a tourist trap costing HUNDREDS of dollars. If you want a place to actually see the game in comfort and have reasonable drinking prices... we could have a party in the burbs.

After we accept the trophy, you can journey back to the quarter and piss on the curb. LOL

Remember, it may be a special moment but it ain't gonna be pretty.

108" (9 ft) TV and 1000w THX surround system. Can seat about 20 comfortable. No bad seats.

Last chance... I been invited to other parties.
Besides... I don't think I can stand for 12 hours.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I can say that there is prob no way we can all geaux to the same spot to watch the game but like Mike said, why dont we all meet up before the game in the quarter somewhere and hang out. Grab some beers and just ask around where the best spot to watch will be. All in?

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

Thank you very much FF for inviting us. You're Man Cave does look like the Ultimate, & your cover charge is most reasonable. If I were you, I would be very nervous, because I can well visualize a group of us crashing your house sometime this weekend, uninvited, raiding your fridge, sitting on your furniture, ogling your wife, and just being generally us. Get some rest this week.

As for Super Bowl Viewing, my group includes a friend, whom, like many, was strongly affected by Katrina, and he has a strong feeling for being in the FQ during the Game, so I'm gonna go with his wishes, and also his rockin Russian gf is quite the party girl. But again, thank you much for inviting us weird people you met on the internet! haha.

I completely understand if a bunch of us want to go over to FF's house to watch the SB. It might be the best deal in town. Be sure & kick in some beer.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

I would start a Lafayette thread on this board. I'm guessing there are some crazy cajuns who want to party there!

btw, Morgan City had some interesting characters on ??what is that street ?? They called it Skid Row. Enjoyed hanging out there.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
 

We are getting forecasts of mad snow here on Friday night into Saturday. My flight is on Saturday evening. I have a bad feeling I may not make it down for this.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...

We can just all meet there then walk around the quarter and act a fool. YEEEEEHAWWWW. Im freakin pumped. Mike bout to send you my number.

Re: Ill be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl...
