Flags were at half-staff outside the Superdome and at nearby state buildings on Thursday as fans arrived a day later than scheduled for the Sugar Bowl — a game serving this season as a College Football Playoff quarterfinal between Notre Dame and Georgia.
Security was ramped up around the stadium a little more than a day after an attack early Wednesday in the nearby French Quarter, where authorities say a truck driver deliberately plowed into a New Year’s crowd — killing 14 people and injuring more than 30.
