    its a good thing dont get me wrong its just that it was over hyped. there are alot more important things to get done in NO. there are hospitals, schools, homes to be rebuild things that are much more important than a stupid sporting event.


    Im a huge soprt fan but i try not to take it too seriously. its a fucking game after all. not that important. They were talking to a fan who said that he lost it all in the hurracane and said that with the little money he had he bought season tickets. what a fucking idiot. where are your priorities?


    maybe football brings him happiness. i wouldnt say its fair to call him a fucking idiot. and in your opinion, the game was overhyped. I strongly disagree

    while I can appreciate some people doing research, this situation is different. The Superdome is a source of inspiration for a city that needs it. Did you see the game last night? while it might not line the pockets of EVERY new orleanes resident is does help out some. for example, I own a parking lot near the United Center in Chicago. I only make money when there is a Bulls game, Blackhawks game, or concert. there is a direct correlation of me making money to the amount of use that stadium gets. The Superdome is also different then most stadiums as it hosts a number of HUGE events namely the Superbowl and Sugar bowl every few years. These events alone bring in thousands of people around the country. Hotels, resturants, bars, parking lots, retail stores, and many others all benefit from the Superdome.
    Don't forget that the Superdome hosts conventions, auto-shows and their ilk....more money, more money.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
