New Orleans

the local sports scene
The Superdome sheltered thousands of people during Hurricane Katrina, and the night football came back to it in 2006 is still the loudest the building has ever been.
The local sports scene
The scene
The Saints did not win a playoff game for their first thirty-three seasons; the 2009 team won the Super Bowl and the parade drew a crowd comparable to Mardi Gras. The Superdome served as a shelter of last resort during Katrina in 2005 and reopened thirteen months later. The Pelicans play next door at the Smoothie King Center, and the Sugar Bowl has been played in the city since 1935.
Rivalries that matter
Saints against Atlanta is the oldest and least friendly game on the schedule; Carolina and Tampa Bay fill out the division. The Bayou Classic between Grambling and Southern is played in the Superdome each Thanksgiving weekend.
Where to watch
The Quarter and Champions Square before kickoff; the neighbourhood bars in the Marigny and Uptown for a local crowd.
