So welcome to Inside the Huddle, our very special Inside the Huddle. We look forward to this every Super Bowl weekend because this is the day before.

Last year, Neil and I and Rocky sat inside Lucas Oils Field and we did it in Indianapolis. We can't get in today.

We're outside the Superdome. Yeah. We're outside the Superdome, which I've got to say, it looks absolutely magnificent.

When I first came here for the NFC championship game, the Brett Fav-1 at the Bounty Gate, it was ramshackled.

There were pieces missing on the side.

They were still very much in development, but now it's magnificent.

I mean, it looks like one of the, what they used to say, it was the eighth wonder of the world.

Oh, it's incredible when you look up at it. You know, we're standing literally right under a huge poster of Ray Lewis right over your shoulder,

which is somewhat fitting with that bionic arm of his there.

Clear blue sky is sunshine.

They're getting the last preparations ready outside.

It's beautiful.

You actually sound like a five live reporter there.

Clear blue sky.

I've learned from you.

I thought I'll give it a go see how i'll go on you did very

well you did very much i mean it's great rocky and the outside of it is gold and it's got the

sponsor logo on the side but i tell you what does strike you as well how just how much they've

regenerated the area so many buildings that are quite clearly brand new all around this facility

now we're absolutely right and that's what i was going to say you can tell a lot of these buildings were built for the super bowl and it just goes to show the economic impact

that the super bowl has in this town a great economic driver uh for the city especially with post

katrina it looks like these uh you know norleans is very much back on the map i'm attacking from right
