Armed Soldiers Coming to New Orleans Streets; Tourists React

CFP announced Wednesday that New Orleans, Louisiana will host the 2028 National Championship at Caesars Superdome on Monday, Jan. 24, 2028, capping the 2027 season.
Governor Jeff Landry and Allstate Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley led a successful bid announced at the Caesars Superdome, while CFP executive director Rich Clark praised New Orleans' hospitality and passion for college football.
Past New Orleans hosting carried a $13 million price tag, and Jeff Hundley, Allstate Sugar Bowl CEO, said costs have doubled since then amid rising expenses; Los Angeles projected $225 million and Houston generated more than $330 million.
Security plans prompted debate over public-safety needs as Jeff Landry, Governor of Louisiana, pledged National Guard support with no timetable, while critics question armed patrols harming tourism; Landry said `People who are living in dangerous neighborhoods deserve safety, just like those that live in good neighborhoods`.
The 2028 CFP title game will be the 14th and the fourth under the current 12-team playoff format, with New Orleans hosting twice, joining Atlanta and South Florida.
