New Orleans City Hall closes early for Saints game | ProFootballTalk.com

"Biggest game in 3 years?"

Would that inclue the 2006-07 NFC Championship Game in Chicago?

With the way this city is run it can only be viewed as a positive when they aren't in their offices screwing it up more.

We are talking local city government. I kinda figured 3PM is the end of an average work day anyway.

Wow, the Pats have had to play 2 Super Bowls this season. Against the Jets and Saints.

I think this is more flattering than annoying.

Just speaks volumes to how respected this franchise is.

Ehh.....i wouldn't think to much about City Hall closing down for the game. Our government is probably the most corrupt government on the gulf coast , if not more. They aren't fans of real work, So any excuse to close up early will be used.....thats all.

I hope they're also putting up netting along all the overpasses.

If any city deserves the excitement and hope its New Orleans.

Those fans and people of the city deserve the best after all that Katrina took away.....just not hoping for the best tonight at least

This. Makes me excited to be following a team whose opponents each week consider the matchup their 'biggest game of the year'.

Did they go home early to pull the money out of their fridges

Man, it shows how much respect the pats still get. We haven't won a superbowl since 2004, and still everyone plays us every game like we are the champs.
