NOLA - Philly Evacuees treated to a Saints game.
A local firm Aramark (food services) treated the 75 NOLA evacuees to a Saints game at the Meadowlands. It was on the news, here. I think that was really a cool way to keep those dislocated in touch with their environs.

1. I agree...
A lot of communities are doing things like that. I bet many of the evacuees have never been to an NFL game.

2. The ones they interviewed hadn't been to a game, but they intended
to NOLA it up in their new NOLA gear. It did bring tears to my eyes to see them enjoying themselves, for a few hours, anyway.
