That's what I was thinking as well, as I watched Sports Center earlier in the evening and the overwhelming majority of fans outside the stadium were rich whites

I'm sure the people in the poorer parts are looking forward to just watching the game wherever they might be right now and feel some connection and pride to their city

Exactly I think we as a country (and the press) make it a feel good story 'oh the opening of the dome and the city can rejoice' but I doubt katrina victims really feel the same way. Yea maybe they feel pride in their city and team but the reopening of a building they'll never go to and probably only been to during the hurricane. Doubt it means much to them.

Either way I hope the saints do good this year but my backup team is the falcons so I gotta root for them tonight.
