75%
Unless Gustav causes a shitload of flooding. Hannah may not threaten us too much (according to bob breck, for what that's worth).

95%.. with the new roof, there is no worry about roof damage anymore..
the Dome will not be used as a shelter, so no interior damage.

I think the bigger worry is what will happen to the city more than the damage to the dome. If NOLA floods again nobody will be there to see the game even if the dome is fine.

hey remember that time 2 years ago when Bob Breck said, " i don't think we have to much to worry about with Katrina." yea, that was funny.

92% chance we play in superdome

Fellas, I'm not so much worried about the Superdome as much as widespread loss of power across SELA, authorities overreacting and not letting people home until Friday or Saturday of next week, etc.

I think the odds of kickoff in the Dome are now under 20% with the storm's lack of a drift westward this morning.

Perhaps our best hope is the optimistic scenario you guys laid out above COUPLED with a Monday night kickoff in the Dome to allow for more recovery time and the return of Saints fans.

I give it less than 25%. Probably going to have another HOME game in the OPPOSING TEAMS STADIUM

Based on what I'm hearing about the track of this storm I'd say less than 50% - game will be in TB instead and the later game will be switched to N.O.

sunday afternoon- with this track (morgan city to lafayette landfall) and most models pushing further west if anything, i say 80%. only some jag straighter north or east during the night will jeopardize NOLA.

I wont put a percentage on it but remember that it takes people to put this game on. The building has to be cleaned and detailed, the field has to be painted, the concession stands have to be restocked. Another thing to remember is that people have to return to work the event.

The good news about this storm is that it is keeping the speed up and could breeze through and be out of the area by the end of the day Monday and people can start their return on Tuesday.
