Tonight New Orleans will hold the most watched event ever. The whole eyes of the world will be looking at one city and in particular one stadium the Super dome. What ever happens sporting wise between Baltimore and San Francisco there is one guarantee the city of New Orleans will put on one hell of an event and even bigger party.
This is not the first time the worlds eyes have been centred upon this great city in the state of Louisiana. Back in 2005 hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans causing great damage and fatality, it was the worst hurricane to ever hit the city. It made parts of the city inhabitable for years and thousands of people have never returned back to the city losing property and loved ones.
During this terrible time when thousands of people of were homeless they sought shelter for days at the home of the New Orleans Saints, the Super dome. This great stadium became an iconic symbol of the city as it was a place of refuge and repatriation with family.
Since this day New Orleans has been in a rebuilding phase. People have built their lives back together in the city that loves to party. Tonight the world will witness the last stage of that rebuilding phase as it plays host to Super Bowl 47. The Super Dome already looks magnificent once again being the icon of this city and the French quarter is prepped to hold one of the best parties ever.
New Orleans people have had some dark days since 2005 but I have a feeling tonight the city will be illuminated with joy in what is bound to be a bright future. Have a great night New Orleans and enjoy the Super Bowl everyone.
