They can't even host a pro game without cars getting broken into, bullets flying, etc. NOLA is circling the drain.

The hair pick was stupid and embarrassing, but it was part of a one month traveling art exhibit. It didn’t cost $8 million. LOL




$7.2 million for that exhibit.

The city can’t afford to keep the lights on in the stadium while hosting a Super Bowl. You expect that same city to host the Olympics?

This is an interesting question, considering the city is on the verge of complete and total collapse. NO is about to host it's likely last Super Bowl ever in 2 years. Also, my guess is that we lose both the Saints and Pels within the next decade.

And you're wondering why we can't hose the Summer Olympics?

It seems that New Orleans would be a great city to host the Summer Olympics.. especially with the weather.

I would love to hear further explanation of this. Don't leave out hurricane season.

The games can be in October. That's one of the easiest problems to solve.


What weather events does this area have that may cause problems in August, September, and October?
