New Orleans awarded Super Bowl in 2013
New Orleans received an enormous boost this week as the NFL selected our great city to host the Super Bowl in 2013. This will be the 10th year for New Orleans to be the host city, first time since the devastation of Katrina.
Needless to say, hotels, restaurants, attractions, bars and shop owners in the high trafficked tourist areas of downtown New Orleans are elated as this means not only a high volume of business…but also high end spending from SuperBowl fans. With the trickle down affect, the economic impact is great for the entire city.
This news also benefits New Orleans NOW since it tells the rest of the world that we have recovered and we are still the best party city to host this popular event.
Compucast sends a BIG THANK YOU to the men and women who worked extremely hard to make this happen!
