Traveling to New Orleans for the Super Bowl? Here's what to know
Planning to go to New Orleans for the Super Bowl? Here's a couple of things you should know beforehand.
PHILADELPHIA - Less than 24 hours after the Eagles were named NFC Champions, fans are already booking their trips to the Super Bowl - and it's no cheap feat!
What we know:
The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch for Super Bowl LIX on February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Two years ago, fans showed up in full force to cheer on the Birds in Arizona, and there's no doubt they'll do the same this year!
If you're trying to get to the Big Game, here are some travel options:
By the numbers:

Places to stay
