Its been over a year, and the Saints are back in town! The New Orleans Saints are an (American) football team, and part of the NFL (National Football League). They play at the Superdome in downtown New Orleans. They have yet to make it to the Superbowl, and they have a poor record of losing during wild card or divisional playoffs.
During Hurricane Katrina, the Superbowl was the largest Hurricane Evacuation Center in the region. Thousands of people chose to ride out the hurricane here; most were those under the poverty line and did not have a means to escape. Well, we all know how that went. It became a catastrophe in itself.
Now, the stadium has been completely renovated, and the Saints are finally playing at the Superbowl. A huge celebration was had here at their first game against Atlanta Falcons, which they won.

Bluenun Sun Apr 8, 2007 05:09 UTC Great pages! Thanks so much. A friend and I are going to Thibodaux 4/15 for a week to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. It's hard to find out much about that part of the state. | am&pm Wed Mar 14, 2007 02:34 UTC I don't know how I missed this page on Louisiana---really remarkable!! You've done the state a favor "selling it" like you have :) We need all the encouragement you can give and I think you've pegged the best things this state has to offer. Awesome job! | aaaarrgh Thu Oct 12, 2006 12:30 UTC Fascinating, thoughtful tips, Bobby! According to findyourspot.com, Louisiana is my ideal loaction. Better remember my waders and alligator repellent :-) | la_beba Thu Jun 1, 2006 20:36 UTC now, there is a fun place! Gotta love Louisiana! |
