In preparations for Super Bowl 2025, New Orleans is enacting unprecedented security measures due to a recent terrorist attack that killed 14 people. Thousands of law enforcement officials, including state police and National Guard troops, will ensure the safety of the event attended by an estimated 200,000 visitors, including President Donald Trump. Officials aim to reassure the public about the city's safety, emphasizing the Super Bowl's potential to foster community healing in the aftermath of trauma. Yet, the impact of the tragedy may linger, forever changing the character of Bourbon Street.
"Even without the horror of Jan. 1, when a driver raced down several crowded blocks of Bourbon, killing 14, New Orleans would be taking no chances."
"We're looking forward to having the Super Bowl help the community there heal itself," Lanier said.
"The Quarter will be safe. So will the stadium and the rest of the city where festivities are planned."
"Massive security is in place in a city known for letting the good times roll, with lingering anxiety because of the Jan. 1 terrorist attack on Bourbon Street."
