re: those of you familiar with new orleans

Why are you staying an hour and a half away from Death Valley, to visit Death Valley?
One of the biggest home games of the year, traffic coming into the city will Be hell, all day.
Do you want to drink? If so, enjoy your bus ride to Br and back to Nola at ~midnight.
If not drinking, why are you staying in Nola? Get a rental car, drive to br, Cheaper hotels in BR, easier access for gameday, then go do the NOLA tourist BS on Sunday after you get a decent night sleep because you didn’t have to drive for 4 hours to go 80 miles after the game.
Stay in BR, uber to game to save on parking, go to Chimes for a hour or so after the game, get an uber to hotel once surge has dropped and traffic is died down.
