NEW ORLEANS — Why wait until Tuesday for a parade? After all, you can create an impromptu one with two simple ingredients — a mass of people lining each side of the street and moving vehicles.
And so New Orleans Saints fans gathered on Veterans Memorial Boulevard by the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, waiting for the team to fly back from Miami in order to give them a champion’s welcome. Though the tradition is nothing new; Saints fans have lined this same stretch of road to greet the team after every road game this season.
For a mile and a half, bodies lined the street, nulling any other traffic. Some partied through the night and made it to the airport early in the morning to get a good spot, even though the team didn’t arrive until about 3 p.m. On an overpass above the road, drivers turned a highway into a parking lot, getting out of their cars and standing on the overpass in order to look down on the action.
