The New York Times has an interesting piece on what the last five years have been like for the Superdome.
The Superdome’s Long Road Back From Hurricane Katrina
↵↵“It looked like Armageddon,” [Superdome manager Doug Thornton] said. “And I thought, ‘It’s over. I’ll never be back here. This is the last time I’ll see it,’ and I just cried all the way to Baton Rouge. I felt so depressed. It was an ugly sight and an awful feeling.”
↵↵With the Saints’ recent rise to prominence in the NFL, the team seems wholly unable to avoid being joined at the yoke with Hurricane Katrina commentary. Nor should it. Even more so than with the post-9/11 New York teams, the disaster is part of the Saints’ identity. And although we’ve watched this story unfold for years now, it still strikes me as amazing and hardly believable that this team is where it is today.
