This link takes you to a discussion of the first pro or college event to be held in New Orleans since Katrina - and 800 people turned out! For Women's College Basketball!!! And Tulane won 72-60.

...The first pro or college event to be held in New Orleans since [Hurricane] Katrina - and 800 people turned out! For Women's College Basketball!!!
