The opening of the 2010 season is less than a month away now and the New Orleans Saints are ready to step onto the field of the Superdome as the defending Super Bowl champions. A NFC Championship game rematch with the Minnesota Vikings will begin the season and see it kicked off in style.

Speaking of style, this is New Orleans you know?

Doing it the only way the city knows how, New Orleans and the Saints celebrated the victory in Super Bowl XLIV with a parade appropriately labeled "Lombardi Gras." Now they're going to have a second parade to help with the NFL 2010 Kickoff that includes a concert in Jackson Square before the game. The concert will have pop star Taylor Swift and the Dave Matthews Band.

"Given New Orleans' tradition of parades and music and food and football, we decided to combine all those things into a single celebration," said NFL Senior Vice President of Events Frank Supovitz. "The Krewe of NFL Kickoff Parade."
