<p>I hear that they are really spiffing up the airport in preparation for the superbowl, have opened several new food venues there, and have increased the streetcar routes. Expect this will continue with the final four (IIRC) scheduled for next year. Nice side benefit for teh residents of NOLA and the Tulane families!</p>
<p>Indeed. I had forgotten this until reading your post, but now I remember reading a few years ago that New Orleans had to promise an airport upgrade in order to continue getting the Super Bowl. It sure needs it!</p>
