NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Louisiana Superdome is back in business, more than a year after hurricane Katrina's devastation.

On Monday night, the iconic symbol of New Orleans will put the newsreels of storm-inspired misery behind it and get back to what it was built for - big-time events.

Unlike its relatively low-key dedication ceremony in 1975, Monday's coming-out party promises to be a star-studded, media-heavy event. On the field, it's a matchup of unbeaten archrivals, the Saints and the Atlanta Falcons. Off the field, it's an opportunity to exorcise some of the demons in the soul of a city that suffered through one of the nation's worst natural disasters.

This could give the saints an intangible that the falcons may not overcome.

Yea I'd love to see them spank Vick and co. I liked the Saints since Ditka was coach/because Ditka was coach.

They have a chance, but I wouldn't bet on it. The Saints and Falcons always play great games, but I'm now sure how well the defense will stop Vick, however, the secondary is the real trouble spot, and Vick still can't throw, so it should be a good game.

Yeah. If I was to bet on them it would be because Vick would try to throw more with his confidence
