Super Bowl host New Orleans is no stranger to thousands of out-of-town revelers descending upon the city and authorities there did not balk when asked if they’d be greasing their poles. They pointed out that an annual pole-greasing party hosted by a hotel in the French Quarter is how the city kicks off Mardi Gras.

Some people on Frenchmen Street, which has become a busy tourist destination, are asking if they'll see added security.

Gov. Jeff Landry announced two enhanced security zones will be in effect around Bourbon Street and the Caesars Superdome throughout Super Bowl weekend.

A new lawsuit says the city of New Orleans has been aware of the danger of a vehicle attack on Bourbon Street for nearly a decade, and yet Bourbon Street was left vulnerable to trucks entering leading up to the New Year’s Day attack that left 14 dead.

On Monday, crews installed the barriers on side streets in the quarter between St. Ann and Iberville. They are located one block off Bourbon in both directions.

The NFL’s security chief projected confidence in the league’s security plans as New Orleans prepares to host the Feb. 9 Super Bowl in the aftermath of a terror attack that killed 14 people there on New Year’s Day.

Jeff Landry made the announcement Wednesday (Jan. 29) in Baton Rouge, with New Orleans mayor LaToya Cantrell standing next to him at the headquarters of the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security.

Twenty-one victims of the New Orleans terror attack have filed a lawsuit against city officials and contractors this week, saying that they failed to protect Bourbon Street revelers from a “preventable” truck ramming incident.

A list of all currently scheduled performers is below.

Jeff Landry said the state will establish checkpoints surrounding the French Quarter in New Orleans during Super Bowl week to enhance safety with the wounds of the deadly New Year's morning terrorist attack on Bourbon Street still fresh.
