News: According to nola.com, several influential NFL owners say they will support a New Orleans bid on the 2013 Super Bowl, and Saints owner Tom Benson says he plans to bring the nation's premier sporting event back to the city after an 11-year dry spell. The Super Bowl alone would create an economic impact of $400 million for the city of New Orleans.Who Dat Say: The city of New Orleans and the Super Bowl go together like bread and butter. Since the inception of the Super Bowl, New Orleans has hosted the game a record nine times (tied with Miami). With a $193 million renovation after Hurricane Katrina, the Superdome is primed to host another Super Bowl. The Big Game's economic impact would definitely help with the continued rebuilding process in New Orleans, a process which will last until at least 2013 and beyond. And there has never been more hype about football in New Orleans than at the present. The Saints are looking great headed into next season, it's difficult to get your hands on a season ticket with the three year waiting list, and hopefully, we will be hosting (and playing in) another Super Bowl in the near future. It's a great time to be a New Orleanian.

The Super Bowl should permanently be played in New Orleans. I don't know what all the owners are bitching about, New Orleans is the perfect venue for any event.
