***MEDIA ALERT ***
 PARKING ADVISORY FOR BCS VISITORS

NEW ORLEANS - Jan. 6, 2012 - New Orleans' hospitality industry looks forward to welcoming Alabama and LSU fans for the BCS National Championship Game on Monday January 9, 2012. No city offers better hospitality!

The city's 38,000 hotel rooms are sold out this weekend and we are expecting record crowds for BCS as well as the New Orleans Saints playoff game on Saturday night.  Parking will be extremely limited, so fans traveling from out of town are encouraged to carpool to limit the number of personal vehicles in the crowded tourist areas of the city.  Hotel parking will be limited to registered guests.

We hope all visitors enjoy New Orleans' unique culture, food, music and hospitality.  For visitor information, go to www.neworleanscvb.com or www.neworleansonline.com.
