re: Need some help regarding watching the game in New Orleans.

If you must go, GET INTO THE DOME AREA NO LATER THAN 2:00 p.m. Walk the perimeter (it’s huge, but it will be cool—both meanings), and then judge how soon you should return. Go to the Square (between the Dome and the big pink Benson Tower that has just two letters right now, B B, in two different sizes of silver letters. I think they are trying to decide how big they want the letters once the full name is embedded. Ask when the Square will open and whether you can watch the game. Of course, you will have done that already, RIGHT? You can come later, but it will get harder and harder (until it is impossible if there is one of the regular accidents on the Mississippi River bridge). Forget about making it "just in time." Not gonna happen.

Of course, ticketed or unticketed fans already know they must plan on 2:00 p.m. Psst . . . don’t tell BAMA fans.
