NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints are returning to the Superdome for their NFL season-opener Sunday.
Forced to flee to Indianapolis ahead of Hurricane Gustav, the Saints will be able to open their season as scheduled against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a person with direct knowledge of the situation said today.
The person declined to be identified because an official announcement had not been made.
The Louisiana Superdome was not used as a refuge during Gustav as it was during Katrina three years ago, and did not sustain any structural or interior damage and never lost power.
