Saturday we walked around for a while until a monsoon hit dropping more than a couple inches on the Crescent City. It left the four of us with a mile of town to walk through with ponchos. Bad news, but fun. We took a nap and went to dinner only to watch the Giants beat the Redskins. That normally wouldn't be a big deal, but it put the Panthers out of the Playoffs making the game Sunday meaningless. That's alright, we had a good time anyway.
The walk from the Quarter to the Superdome was a bit depressing. It's a bunch of office buildings that seemed dead. Not a lot of traffic around for a gameday. It just seemed dreary. Even the sign on City Hall isn't fixed.
It was a different story once we got to the dome. Saw several Panther fans that were part of a great party atmosphere.
This huge bridge in front of the dome was full of fans before the game drinking beer and having a good time. They had a band that people were actually listening to. Very cool pregame festivites.
On the other side of that bridge you can see many buildings are still damaged. Several windows in this building were still broken, and the hotels behind it don't look much different than they did when we saw them on television after the hurricane.
The Superdome's in great shape. Here's the mass exodus inside before the game. Oh, and we ate muffaletta sandwhiches before the game.
