-Check out the USS Kidd Veterans Museum near the river - though it may be leaving the dock before the game comes around.
They're taking it to a shipyard in Houma about a month from now for extensive repairs. It will be gone for about a year.

Time is running out to see the USS Kidd docked in Baton Rouge before it heads down south to be repaired.
The Louisiana Naval War Memorial Commission announced on Monday, Jan. 15, that Thomas-Sea Marine Constructors LLC, of Houma, has been contracted to repair and restore the USS KIDD. The project is scheduled to start in April of 2024 and continue through May of 2025.
“Maintaining a museum ship takes more than money and expertise,” said Parks Stephenson, executive director of the USS KIDD Veterans Museum. “Keeping up with the demands of an aged historic vessel requires personal commitment and passion, like that demonstrated by the staff at the USS KIDD Veterans Museum. They manage and maintain the ship with a fervent sense of dedication. We are proud to partner with Thoma-Sea in extending the USS KIDD’s life for decades to come; thus, enabling her to be admired by future generations as a symbol of the patriotic values of the state of Louisiana and its citizens.”
