Cars flooded the parking lot at the Shrine on Airline on Saturday morning. I pulled up around 8:30 a.m. and the lot already was filled halfway.
You could hear music blasting through the wooded area between the parking lot and the New Orleans Saints practice facility. You would've thought there was a new festival added to the already loaded calendar with the continuous stream of people walking along the road.
Then you turn the corner by the Pelicans gym and a sea of Who Dat humanity joyously waited to watch football practice. Not a game.
