Quotes
"This stadium became a symbol of so much. To see the stadium come back, and now to see that it means so much to this community, that's very significant in and of itself. But the real significance to us is the team, and how it reflects so much of this community and represents the hopes and dreams of this community. I think that's a great thing for the NFL. Obviously it's a great thing for the Saints." - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, on the Super Bowl returning to the Superdomehttp://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2010/01/nfl_commissioner_roger_goodell_1.html
