Seaweed most of us cannot afford to buy gas

Common now

Stop drinking this early

It's in New Orleans, there is NO better city for the SB than that.

If the Bears are in it, I'm getting tickets, simple as that

Seaweed · 10-03-12, 08:19 AM

It was a trick question, there is no Super Bowl THIS year

Bostongambler · 10-03-12, 08:26 AM

Most Definitely

Any dome/indoor game sucks and has no atmosphere.

Not like super bowls have any atmosphere anyway.

New Orleans is a dump and always will be, the media attention they got when Katrina wiped them out was pathetic they should have left it under water.

I have been there dozens of time, went to the Pats GB SB there and it was not that great.

City is so over rated it isnt even funny. It is on the level of Detroit actually, but people feel sorry for them because they got destroyed. People should have taken it as a sign. They were told for years the city was one storm away from disaster, they dodged the bullets for a long time, but it caught up with them eventually. Then the corruption and theft that took place during the rebuilding, and that was from the elected officials who were in charge of it all.

Like I said another hurricane could wipe that place off the face of the earth and I wouldnt bat an eyelash.

New Orleans is 100x better than Detroit. Underrated city.

detroit - great baseball stadium (none in nola), better football stadium by far, better hockey (none in nola), basketball arena we'll call a push, better casinos

so for sports and gambling (sbr people) i would flip that and say detroit 100x better than new orleans

CanuckG · 10-03-12, 10:46 AM

wouldn't judge a city for gambling. Go there to have fun (non sports related) and it's a good city.

Brock Landers · 10-03-12, 10:56 AM

Mike, i have been there twice for Mardi Gras...not the fat tuesday itself, but the weekend leading up to it, its definitly something to do once, like a bucket list type of thing. Wouldn't go again for that madness. But French Quarter Fest, jazz fest, voodoo fest, GREAT music, World class great food, better than ANYWHERE else in america. I love history, so unless you have done a proper horse and buggy/on foot tour of the french quarter, you are missing out.

i fuckin love the place, the weather (outside of june-august) is outstanding, save for the occasional hurricane LOL

The food is what does it for me though, i love a good meal, and that city literally has more great restaurants that range from palaces to holes in the wall, unlike anywhere else in america, and i've been all over north america. Nothing else comes close.

yeah if you want to get mugged or raped or kidnapped maybe New Orleans is awesome. Place is a complete waste of space. The only reason it isnt still topping the charts as one of the worst cities in America with one of the worst crime rates is they had a lot of pity put on them. Doesnt change the fact the place is still a shit hole.

CanuckG · 10-03-12, 11:01 AM

Yeah if you walk into the ghetto it could happen. You can get mugged or raped in any major city....hell look at the top 2 most dangerous cities flint, mich and detroit, mich. Cali has tons of ghettos too........you watch too much CNN people think all of New Orleans is a dump.

fair enough
i usually visit cities for sports and/or gambling so that's why i don't rank it higher

i agree the food is great (poster dextermatsusaka has a pizza place there) but i would still say for restaurants in the u.s.
vegas #1
new york #2
chicago #3

CanuckG · 10-03-12, 11:48 AM

vegas #1 for food nooooo

i rank vegas #1 (everyone would have new york) because there's at least 30 top-tier restaurants within walking distance if you're on the strip

CanuckG · 10-03-12, 01:19 PM

San Fran and Portland underrated for food. New York obviously solid. Vegas is alright but it's missing something......maybe being isolated in a desert with no culture sways my opinion.....plus I love seafood and San Fran/Portland/Seattle has that.

Deuce · 10-03-12, 01:22 PM

Pass

NO a dump. Don't wanna have to worry about my hotel sinking into the fukkin gulf. Bunch of thugs and uneducated there too. Shit dome.

stevenash · 10-03-12, 01:23 PM

If by going to the Super Bowl you mean 2 cases of Becks, a cold cut platter, some friends over watching the game on my 50 inch, then yes.

that sounds great except the friends part

i usually have way too many contests and bets going, they would just be irritants and/or jinxes

for whatever reason, i used to eat lobster, crab legs, and shrimp (quality stuff, not grocery store) all the time growing up and into my 20s/early 30s. about 5 years or so ago i just stopped liking almost all seafood. weird, taste buds do change.

San Fran has amazing fresh seafood, it's a top ten foold city.
NYC is number 1, hands down.
10 years ago, Las Vegas wasn't even a top 50 foo/restaurant city, now it's a top 5.
Emeril, Wolfgang, a slew of other world reknowned chefs have amazing restaurants there.

I don't bet up the SB hard, only twice have I bet that game hard, twice with the Giants, twice I won BIG !
Put 3/4 of my year end fat bonus on Simms (I think I laid -12) over the Elway's, and last year I put 1100 to win 1000 on the under.

JetsAreABadBet · 10-03-12, 03:05 PM

stevenash you know your food! San Fran hands down a top city for food and NYC is my #1 also. Since your handle is stevenash, what is your top food city in Canada, eh?

yeah come visit new orleans and have "fresh" mutated shrimp with no eyes, fish with lesions, and ulcerated crabs!

New Orleans is probably my favorite American city.
