Some Big News from the Big Game The new Homeland Security secretary was in town Monday to check out, well, security, around the Super Bowl. Kristi Noem was among those who stopped by the memorial to the victims of the Bourbon Street attack, Jeff Adelson reports. Meanwhile, Ian McNulty noshed his way around the Superdome trying the food that awaits Super Bowl-goers. A little taste of his review? Ian says the food, like the Dome itself, has undergone a major “glow-up.” And of course Monday was a big night for the Caesars Superdome, a debut party to show off the venue ahead of Sunday’s game. David Grunfeld has this collection of photos.
