Sugar Bowl viability
Wednesday, August 31, 2005 at 10:36PM There's a lot of time between now and then, but one has to wonder how likely it is that the Superdome (or New Orleans, in fact) can host the Sugar Bowl.
The unknowns are overwhelming and won't be solved for quite a while. Can the city drain and clean up in time? How much of downtown New Orleans will remain? How much needs to be completely rebuilt. Can the city support (in terms of hotels, lodging, attractions... enthusiasm) the numbers of out-of-town visitors for the game?
Heck, can the Superdome host anything? It looks like a wreck on television and I have to believe its renovation and restoration isn't high on many people's priorities right now.
There's a lot of time to answer these questions, but might as well start thinking about them right now.
The game is scheduled for January 2, 2006.
