Time for Super Bowl XLVII - 2013

When I returned home from Charlotte earlier this month it was time for the Super Bowl.

This year it was in New Orleans.

Where the Super Bowl got to meet Mardi Gras.

CBS put up its own entrance to the French Quarter. Underneath the CBS sign at the top it says "Super Bowl Park at Jackson Square."

Here's a glimpse of Jackson Square from Decatur Street.

And on the other side.

The beginning of Bourbon Street from Canal.

He's looking for some Super Bowl merchandise and just found it.

Everyone is heading up Poydras Street to the Superdome, New Orleans style.

Short summary for anyone who missed the 2013 Super Bowl:   The Baltimore Ravens won (personally I wanted the 49ers to take that trophy home) and half the Superdome lost power during the game delaying it about 34 minutes. We're all pretty sure that Beyonce was so powerful at half time that the Superdome just couldn't take it. However that's not a good enough explanation for Entergy (our power company here). As of yesterday (2/15/13), they are still trying to figure out what happened so they have hired a third-party forensic electrical engineer to figure it out.
