It's typical for fans to fly into the host city of the Super Bowl — this year, Miami — to watch the game. Fans typically don't flock to the participating teams' cities, said Steve Swope, chief executive of the Rubicon Group, an Atlanta-based market research firm for the hospitality industry.
But in a week that typically finds New Orleans hotels half-empty, most hotels in the French Quarter and surrounding downtown area are nearly sold out. The Saints, playing in their first-ever Super Bowl just a week before Mardi Gras, have ignited a mass rush to town.
