New Orleans Gets 2013 Super Bowl, Its 10th
New Orleans is a Super Bowl city again.
NFL owners voted Tuesday to play the 2013 Super Bowl in New Orleans, the first time the championship game will be played there since Hurricane Katrina shredded parts of the Louisiana Superdome. The hurricane caused 1,600 deaths and devastated the Gulf Coast four years ago.
New Orleans beat out Miami -- which sought a record 11th Super Bowl -- and 2008 host Glendale, Ariz., for the game. This is the 10th time New Orleans will be the site for the Super Bowl.
''It's a great day for our community,'' Saints owner Tom Benson said as he walked onto an elevator at a South Florida hotel, on his way to the formal announcement.
New Orleans last hosted in 2002, when Adam Viniateri's 48-yard field goal as time expired lifted New England over St. Louis.

New Orleans Super Bowls are great,.... 33% of the time they are in New Orleans, the Patriots make the game 
1986, 1997, 2002.
Better even 50% of the time its been at the Super Dome, the Pats have been in the game...

the Super Bowl is one of the few things New Orleans does right, it works wonders for the surrounding areas. Baton Rouge will make even more money this time around, which is good for my home. Although I'm glad I won't be there. Living in a Super Bowl city sucks.
