Sugar Bowl could play at LSU if hotels return

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Work crews were busy in several New Orleans hotels Wednesday, repairing damage from Hurricane Katrina.

That's good news for the Sugar Bowl.

If enough hotels in the New Orleans area are up and running by December, this year's Sugar Bowl will be played at LSU's Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.

If they aren't, Atlanta's Georgia Dome would be a likely alternative, Sugar Bowl executive director Paul Hoolahan is expected to tell the commissioners of the 11 Division I-A conferences at a BCS meeting Tuesday in Chicago.

Bad idea, play the Sugar @ Atlanta's Georgia Dome this year. Georgia Dome is the best winter time FB venue in the whole southeast.

Sam, if it is possible, would be a very good thing for NO.
