As my good friend St_LB would want to hear, I was there in the Dome, and then made my way down the streets of N.O. I dont know if you've seen the video's but it was better than I imagined. Streets not named Bourbon were just as wild, abeit more passable. You could walk across just about anywhere, as cars could not move. Illegal fireworks, some really great mortars shot into the air. I know the honking and yelling went on past 3am? (finally succumbed to sleep) Canal St. was the wierdest--- it looked & sounded like a disaster, to be honest. NOPD was lined up all the way down, lights flashing... more honking, w/ people jumping out to the street to "five" drivers & passengers... more yelling/ whodat'ing (dont sue me, NFL) Sirens were everywhere, but I didnt see anybody hurt. I think the ambulances were celebrating too. People were happily banging the window of the restaurant we stopped into, and periodically, the restaurant would break into "Who Dat." I saw people shaking hands with Vikings fans telling them, "good game." Strangers hugged strangers. And Academy's parking lot looked like Christmas the next day. (they sold the official t-shirts)

I saw nor heard not one instance of violence or vandalism.

That was New Orleans. I know we have fans all over Louisiana, MS, The Gulf South, Texas, etc. I heard fireworks went off all over Baton Rouge. A lady told me people were celebrating pretty hard in Lafayette. I'd like to know what went on in Shreveport.

Im not finished celebrating this yet. Does anyone have video or pictures?
