On Monday night, the Superdome stadium in New Orleans will host its first football game since Hurricane Katrina, where more than one year ago thousands sought shelter from the storm and flooding; they were left stranded for days.
As victims of the storm packed into the Superdome, the image of the stadium became one of suffering, not celebration. Since then -- and after initial worries that the team would leave the area -- the Saints have played most of their games in either Baton Rouge, La., and San Antonio, Texas.
But Monday night, the Superdome reopens as the Saints host the Atlanta Falcons.
