The night Katrina made landfall, there were about 9,000 citizens and 550 National Guardsmen inside the Superdome. When the search and rescue was going on after the hurricane, somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 people stayed inside the Superdome.

Numbers range from between 6 and 10 persons. Best they can tell one person committed suicide, one died of a drug overdose and the rest of "natural" causes. As one who was inside the Dome we too believed all the rumors of rapes and murders but in fact most if not all of these turned out to be false, as well as any shooting at helicopters outside of the Dome. Fear and Group Think are powerful tools in spreading misinformation and the media was way off base on their reporting of what went on inside. Still seeing it for myself I was amazed that more medical patients didn't die due to lack of food, water, sanitary conditions and more staffing by the National Guard.

Did the Super Bowl win give hope to New Orleans?

Yes it did. Although it didn't fix all of the problems New Orleans is still suffering with, it did give those who felt too much despair to even go on with life something to hold on to. The New Orleans Saints reprsents the city of New Orleans in many ways. One way is that the team showed even when you're down and out and everyone is looking at you as if you'll never pull yourself together, you can still make it. You can still go ahead in life and be that inspiration for someone else who may need it. The Super Bowl win for New Orleans has indeed given people hope and one day, if another city or region needs it, New Orleanians may be the inspiration for others to get back on their feet like the Saints were to them.

Will the Super Bowl ever be played in Pittsburgh?

Very, very doubtful. The Super Bowl is played in warm weather climates or in dome stadiums where the weather is not warm. ( with San Francisco being the exception ). Denver is way to cold in February. If Denver ever builds a dome, then probably, yes. Don't hold your breath,
