You should see what the sports fans in LA do to cars.

Speaking of... New Orleans and South Louisiana residents definitely don't get enough credit for handling sports championships.

When the Saints won the Super Bowl The whole country was on edge fearing what would happen in the city. Speculation of chaos was common on national outlets. But it turned into a HUGE positive and pleasant surprise for New Orleans when it was pure revelry and no stupid shite like flipping cars and lighting fires. Then the message was "we shoulda known New Orleans fans would be more interested in partying than flipping cars."

And how bout LSU winning THREE College Football National Championships in the Super Dome?
Every one of those games brought in over 100k LSU fans OUTSIDE the Dome. And each time LSU won the championship, it was a just a big arse party and parade of fans to Bourbon Street

Not a single car flipped or business destroyed in New Orleans in the wake of 4 major sporting events known to trigger such behavior in major cities and many small college towns alike..

I am really proud of that.
