What do you think, I think it'd be interesting if they extend the celebrations.

I think eventually it will be good for the city. If people want to make the trip to the draft they can see how New Orleans has come along since Hurricane Katrina. It could be good for everyone.

fCan you imagen all the die hard college football fans of the south would flock to NO for the draft, it would be crazy. The City of New Orleans and the NFL would make so much money just of the fans of the surrounding states, Texas, Alabama , Florida , Mississippi, Georgia, etc.... also the city with its charisma and celebration like atmosphere!

That would be great for the city, NO's has always been a big place for tourism and it would be great for the rebuilding effort.

I would love the idea as I live in Memphis, and Mardi Gras is the bomb. But I doubt it happens. Tradition over all. I don't like it but that's how it will be probably. I think it could help teams that are small market like the Jags.

What if it was in Atlanta?? Would there be a FreakNik parade???? HAHA

Just don't bring it to Philly. Laughing

The Eagles never cease to surprise us, from McNabb to Kolb, we are never happy with the picks.
[although we are proved wrong]

Some one could have gotten hurt.

Interesting... cool idea.

It might be worth a try for one year.

I have been there since the crap storm. That place is cleaner and smells better than it has in decades. Call it heartless call it hating, I just dont see the point in dumping more money into a city thats below sea level and could very well face the same storm in just a matter of years. If I built a town on a volcanic island people would not feel bad for me, they would say look at this moron who lost everything because he built his house on a volcanoe. Sorry people are hurting right now, but I dont feel a responsibility whatsoever to send money that way.

The Super Bowl can move...why not the draft location? Let other cities get in on the fun! Like mentioned earlier, the SEC areas would probably eat this up. In NO, I could imagine LSU fans turning it into an awesome tailgating event. College fans everywhere would be out in full force I think.
