Now, we're sharing what you've had to say about it.
Here's a slice of the Super Bowl reactions you've dropped into our inboxes this week.
💸 Not so super for business: "Super Bowl is great branding for the City and who doesn't like the sprucing up of the City?" Tony G. writes. "But Taylor Swift's three day stand at the Dome was a more evenly distributed economic boost to the City."
😎 Lasting impressions: "So many of our local performing arts experts (techs, film editors, etc.) got great, short-term side hustles," writes reader Randy.
And, he says, "Lots of the fans flying in were first-timers to NOLA, and the ones we chatted up all said they'll be back."
🔁 Let's do it again … every year?: "New Orleans definitely looks like the place where the Super Bowl, [as] well as other big-time prime events, should take place permanently," writes Chris C. "Everything is walkable, everything tastes good and sounds good, and everything is beautiful!"
🦅 The bottom line: "THIS WAS THRILLING," says reader Harmon. "GOOOOOO BIRDS 💚💚💚"
