We are expecting a huge college football game tonight so the city was at almost 90% capacity, everywhere was full. I was out here yesterday during the day and there were parades, marching bands, thousands of people on the street celebrating the Sugar Bowl.
Just wanted to emphasize that January 1 is the usual day of multiple college (gridiron) football games. The Sugar Bowl is one of those games. It is part of the college football national championship tournament.
The show must go on. Good or Bad?

7:45 p.m. US Central time Sugar Bowl game time (Chicago time) is 1:45 a.m. GMT (January 2)
EDIT: THE SUGAR BOWL COLLEGE (GRIDIRON) FOOTBALL GAME HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO THURSDAY!
In the wake of a New Year's attack on Bourbon Street that resulted in at least 10 deaths, the scheduled Sugar Bowl matchup for Wednesday night has been postponed, New Orleans district attorney Jason Williams told CBS's WWL-TV. The College Football Playoff quarterfinal game between 2-seed Georgia and 7-seed Notre Dame is now scheduled to be played Thursday, Jan. 2 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
In light of the early-morning attack in New Orleans, Atlanta police released the following statement regarding heightened security measures ahead of the Peach Bowl (Texas vs. Arizona State):
"We acknowledge the concerns raised following the events earlier this morning in New Orleans, LA. In advance of the Peach Bowl, the Atlanta Police Department had already implemented increased security measures, including the deployment of additional officers. In light of today's development and as an added precaution, specialized units and additional personnel will be further deployed to the Downtown and Midtown areas to ensure the continued safety and security of residents and visitors."
Additionally, officials in Pasadena bolstered security for the Rose Parade and Wednesday afternoon's Rose Bowl to the highest possible levels, they said.
Some may know Pasadena, near Los Angeles, as the setting of the TV show "The Big Bang Theory."
