2013 Super Bowl in New Orleans

The big announcement came this afternoon! New Orleans has been picked to host the 2013 Super Bowl at The Louisiana Super Dome on February 3, 2013.

This makes ten Super Bowls for The Crescent City and we can’t think of a better place to hold the ultimate tailgate party than right here at The Hotel Monteleone.

For all of us in New Orleans it’s one of those great big shots in the arm that lets people outside our beloved city know that the struggles of the past few years are well behind us and we are coming BACK! Of course… if you’ve dropped into the Hotel Monteleone at any time recently you already knew that.

“This is a great accomplishment for New Orleans, and the significance of bringing the Super Bowl to our city and region can’t be overstated,” Saints owner Tom Benson said.

“From every perspective, this shows that our city is on the rise, viable and thriving, and I have great faith in what we can accomplish and the impact it will have, starting today. This is my hometown, and maybe we don’t need to talk about New Orleans being on the way back anymore. New Orleans is back, and today is proof.”

From all of us at The Hotel Monteleone,congratulations New Orleans, congratulations Saints, and congratulations NFL for picking the best city in the country to host the 2013 Super Bowl!
