I want to comment here on something. I think there would probably have been 
3X to 5X more turnout if not for the hurricane. This has affected a whole 
lot of things. Since I run a sports bar in Houston, you can easily see the 
effect it had on many games too, with stands 1/2 full, especially for game 
day openers. At least in a large swath of the country, people at the moment 
have changed plans from car shows, meets, football games, all sorts of 
activities as they I guess concentrate on larger things. Speaking of larger 
things, there have been about 10 conventions cancel in Houston as the George 
Brown Convention Center downtown is now being used for refugees from 
Louisiana, 7000 more people in there.

And back to football there have been a number of college games already 
cancelled and postponed until later in the season that is if you could play 
them at all. LSU for instance, one of the college football powerhouses, is 
basically a MASH camp right now and the population of Baton Rouge has 
doubled in a week. Not sure where the Tigers will play, much less the 
Saints. On the obligatory weak joint part, I told a few fans that "the 
Saints finally found a way to fill the Superdome" :~P))

Anyways, bottom line is that between this catastrophe of Katrina wiping out 
several American cities, and the price of gas surging over $3.00 a gallon, 
many people have changed plans as lives got disrupted one way or another.
