ATLANTA -- New Orleans' Super Bowl drought is over.

The NFL awarded the 2024 Super Bowl (58) to New Orleans after the city secured a unanimous vote during Wednesday morning's single-city ballot process among NFL owners, snapping New Orleans' two-bid losing streak for the NFL's championship game.

It will be the first time the city will host the game since 2013 when Baltimore defeated San Francisco in Super Bowl 47 on Feb. 3, 2013 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. It's also the 11th time New Orleans will host the Super Bowl, tying with Miami for the most games hosted by one city. This will be the eighth Super Bowl played in the Dome, while the other three games occurred at Tulane Stadium.

The 2024 Super Bowl will take place Feb. 4, falling right in the middle of Mardi Gras season much like the 2013 Super Bowl. The major two weeks of carnival season will split with Fat Tuesday falling on Feb. 13, 2024.

Landing the 2024 Super Bowl will complete a heavy cycle of some of the nation's top sporting events. New Orleans will host the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Jan. 13, 2020, the NCAA Women's Final Four on April 3-5, 2020 and the NCAA Men's Final Four on April 2-4, 2022.

Will Johnson - Cornerback, Michigan

NFL Draft Buzz Projection: 1st - Late

Cornerback depth has immediately become a concern after the departure of Marshon Lattimore. Much like Lattimore, Johnson is one of the most physician, yet agile cornerbacks in his draft class. The Michigan Wolverines have a massive game against the Indiana Hoosiers this weekend and Johnson will...

It’s the Ultimate Hate Week for the state of Louisiana. The New Orleans Saints face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. That’s always big for Saints fans, and moving from Dennis Allen to Darren Rizzi has reinvigorated the fan base.

The weekend ends in New Orleans, but it begins just an hour away in Baton Rouge. LSU takes on Alabama in Death Valley on Saturday night. Each event takes over the city individually, but when you pair both of them together it truly is a state wide affair.

It’s not the first time the biggest teams in the state have taken on their biggest rivals in the same weekend...

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons face off for the second time this year, but the Saints will have a different head coach this time. Dennis Allen was dismissed this week, Darren Rizzi steps into his place for at least the remainder of the season. The first game of the Rizz era is against the hated rivals.
The rivalry’s all-time record is in favor of the Falcons, 56-55, due to this season’s earlier matchup. A muffed punt and perfectly deflected screen pass put 14 points on the board for Atlanta and were the deciding moments of the game.

Here are thee highlights from a few of the recent games in the rivalry:

Marshon Lattimore's hamstring injury delays his Commanders debut

There was some belief that Marshon Lattimore would magically be healthy after the New Orleans Saints traded him to the Washington Commanders. This did not happen. Lattimore will miss at least one more game due to injury.

From a fan perspective, watching Lattimore line up against Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens would have been a fun matchup. A collateral benefit of this is he’s given the opportunity to study the Commanders playbook for more than just a few days. Conspiracy would even say they’re using a preexisting injury to give him extra time.
