re: Parking Advice for Thursday

Mate, I suggest you find well lit and complimentary street parking in the WHD and enjoy a casual stroll towards the Dome. With the $30 in savings, you and your guest may enjoy a pregame Miller Lite or Bloody Mary as you take in the various scenes of revelry along the way. I always skip over to Poydras for the final few blocks, as something about seeing my fellow Saints fanatics on that grand boulevard gets me the ultimate pregame goosebumps. I also like peeing in the beautiful Le Pavillon hotel and admiring the street-facing facade. I sometimes grab an additional Bloody Mary cocktail if their small bar isn't too crowded.
