New Orleans Question!

[mgg42]

Hi all!

 

This isn't really cruise related, but I thought I might find a New Orleans local or frequent visitor who can give me some information.

 

I am curious as to what is the latest on the Hyatt Superdome. I stayed there immediately prior to Katrina (lucky to get out the day before!). I am always shocked when I see the pictures of it with all the windows blown out.

 

I kept hearing it was going to re-open, but now I hear nothing.

 

What's going on?

Is it going to re-open?

Did they at least replace all the windows?

 

Thanks!

It, along with many things here, is in limbo. Right now it doesn't look like much going on. They didn't replace all the windows, replaced some, boarded some. I hear both that it's going to reopen and that it's not. There was an idea thrown out that they would make the area a jazz park, with the Hyatt as one of the centerpieces. These plans are either gone or on a very back burner.
