Me and my buddies are taking a luxury RV down. Long ride but hell, it beats shelling out all that money for a hotel/flight.

Staying about an hour out of town in Hammond. Doesn't look like there is any transportation from that far out into NO. Any ideas on places where we can drive to, park and take a shuttle, or street car into town?

Can you park in the Superdome parking lot? And just stay there after tailgating? I was contemplating that, if we're unable to scalp tickets close to gametime. Maybe we could join up!

Downsizing the tailgate and then heading over to the French Quarter to find a place to watch the game. Parking prices are crazy in the area of the Dome so we plan to move over a bit (thanks to suggestions from NOLA). Would enjoy getting folks together and turning one of those fine NO establishments into the second Ravenstown South (the Dome will be the original).

Is anyone looking for just a room? I have a found a couple 2 bedroom places but only need one. Coming in friday and leaving monday. email me at jdwhilden@smcm.edu if interested.

NOLA,

what will the traffic be like around town on friday and saturday. we will be staying an hour away and i'm trying to determine what it will be like driving into town.

regards

Section502, its going to be a lot of traffic.....around the Dome and downtown on the highways, gridlocl. Especially in the afternoon. . To get to the Quarter park where I indicated and take the streetcar and walk. If you try and drive into the FQ, or around the Dome or CBD all the way to the river you are going to get into gridlock.

So I found hotels in Slidell and Marrero, are these safe places to stay?
