Superbowl Bound
I remember the first time we drove back into New Orleans after the levees failed.
Tired, sad, and scared half to death of what we might find at our home, we came in across the Causeway, and the sight of the skyline simultaneously lifted and pierced our hearts. At the skyline's own heart was the no-longer-white curve of the Superdome, torn open to its skeleton, our symbol of hope become a symbol of helplessness and death.
Standing in the middle of the Dome last night, Coach Sean Payton said, "This stadium used to have holes in it. This stadium used to be wet. It's not wet anymore. This is for the city of New Orleans."
I have no more words. Except, of course, WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to read about the game, the fans, and the joyful eruption of the city, there's lots of great coverage on nola.com. I'm going to lunch with my favorite Whodat.
