Yesterday, downtown New Orleans hosted the Super Bowl victory parade for the New Orleans Saints, and it will almost certainly go down as the largest Super Bowl parade ever, and possibly the largest parade New Orleans has ever seen. Alex Rawls has some notes on the parade here, and below are photos taken by Kim Welsh of the floats, bands, players, and best of all, Coach Sean Payton with the championship Lombardi Trophy.
