The Superdome’s Roof Caught Fire

SJ - September 21, 2021

The 2021 New Orleans Saints might be cursed...

They were forced to play their Week 1 game in Jacksonville due to Hurricane Ida. During Week 2 their coaching staff was shorthanded due to COVID.

On Tuesday the roof of the Superdome was on fire. The fire reportedly started in the gutter tub.

When asked if the integrity of the building was threatened by today's fire, Doug Thornton said, "No." He added they are conducting a full damage assessment now. https://t.co/FJ5TKpRRR0

I can't wait to see what else the Saints will have to deal with this season. At some point we're going to have to start calling it the curse of Drew Brees. You don't replace a legend with Jameis Winston and expect no repercussions.
