New Orleans-Superdome reopens
The stadium that symbolised New Orleans' suffering during Hurricane Katrina last year has re-opened.
More than 30,000 people took refuge at the Louisiana Superdome after the storm struck. They lived in squalor for four days until they were evacuated.
But a major refurbishment programme has allowed the venue to host Monday's sell-out game between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons.
Rock bands, including U2 and Green Day, performed in a star-studded ceremony.
The Superdome was wrecked by Hurricane Katrina last August, its roof peeled off by the wind.
However, the BBC's James Westhead in New Orleans says it was the images of chaos inside, with people stranded for days with no water or food, that made it a symbol of New Orleans' misery.
