 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Giants Stadium will have a distinct Bayou flavor on Monday night when the New Orleans Saints play their "home" opener against the New York Giants, nearly three weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana.
Some 600 displaced New Orleans residents will be flown to the New York-New Jersey area by relief agencies; the city's police chief, Eddie Compass, will be involved with former president George Bush in the coin toss; and Saints gold and black will be displayed along the blue walls of the stadium and in one of the end zones.
"It's cool. But don't get me wrong, the New York Giants are still playing a home game," Saints wide receiver Joe Horn said.
