So New Orleans will host the 2013 Super Bowl. That’s great news, since it means that the Saints and the state reached an agreement to keep the team in New Orleans until 2025.
The last time I was in New Orleans during the Super Bowl was in 1997. Jamie and I marched up and down Bourbon Street chanting “DITKA AND SAINTS IN NINETY-EIGHT.” I’m pretty sure that Jamie, a Rams fan, was laughing at the Saints, but I believed. What a fool I was.
Even better, this Super Bowl will fall on Bacchus weekend.
Let’s hope they redesign that logo. I like the idea, but the execution is awful. “A Perfect Ten”? Yes, I know it’s the city’s 10th SuperBowl. It’s still dumb. The street sign looks like a license plate.
This is going to be fun! Reservations are being taken now!
