Today it starts. Professional football is back. It opens in Kansas City, Missouri with the Baltimore Ravens visiting the Chiefs. It will end on February 9, 2025 with a showdown of league survivors in Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
That stadium is the same place into which thousands of refugees fled when Hurricane Katrina demolished the city and most of it's services in 2005. At one time, they discussed leveling the superdome. Instead, new money came to the rescue and an extensive renovation took place. Now, the home of the Saints, which seats 73,000 humans, is sparkling and grandiose.
Next February, it won't be the poor homeless who fill the place but the affluent few who like to see almost as much as the like to be seen.
It would be a pretty good bet that one of the two teams playing the first game of the season would also play the last. That's not my hope, but a pretty good bet.
