The economic impact of Super Bowl LIX on the New Orleans economy is expected to top $500 million.
Since 2013, the last time the big game was held in New Orleans, the city has added more hotels, and every one of them was booked solid this year.
Restaurant business was also brisk, especially in the French Quarter. Other parts of the city didn't see as much of the action.
But most business owners seem to agree that the city's exposure to tens of thousands of visitors and millions of TV viewers can only be good news in the long run.
