Marching, win or lose: The New Orleans Saints will hold a parade Feb. 9 whether they win or lose the Super Bowl, reports The Times-Picayune. The entire team will participate in the late-afternoon parade, which will start near the Superdome. The start time and complete route have yet to be determined, but the parade will pass along major downtown thoroughfares.
Ahead of the Super Bowl: More than 10,000 ballots have been cast so far since the early-voting period for the New Orleans mayor’s race began last Saturday. A spokesman for the Louisiana Secretary of State’s office says voters are telling poll workers in New Orleans that good weather early in the week prompted them to head for the early-polling places, which are at three New Orleans locations. Many of the early voters also explain they plan to be in Miami on election day, Feb. 6, which is the day before the Saints meet the Colts in the Super Bowl. The early-voting period ends tomorrow.
