Belichick: I've been coaching football for five decades,

Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX

so I've seen my share of football towns.

One holds a special place in my heart.

[ "When the Saints Go Marching In" plays ]

New Orleans, Louisiana.

Today, New Orleans will host Super Bowl LIX.

The city was also a favorite of John Madden's.

John's been gone for three years now,

but his family was kind enough to lend me the Madden Cruiser

to explore his favorite Super Bowl city

with some of my favorite people.

I'll dive into the Super Bowls in the old Sugar Bowl

with Archie Manning...

I don't see any parking in that picture.

...commemorate the 20th anniversary

of Hurricane Katrina

with New Orleans' own Rocsi Diaz...

We love a good comeback story.

...explore New Orleans culture

and the history of Super Bowl halftime music

in the French Quarter.

I'll also talk high-school football

with Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu

and the Blackout Bowl with my old nemesis Ed Reed...

and my own Super Bowls in New Orleans

with hall-of-famer Ty Law.

Hey, man. Love you, man.Love you.

To cap it off,

Fox reporter Erin Andrews and my quarterback Tom Brady

will share their own memories of the big game in the Big Easy.

So hop on board.

It's gonna be a heck of a ride.

♪♪

I'm used to being a coach.

To be a TV host, I needed a little help.

So I called on hall-of-famer turned TV icon Michael Strahan.

Strahan: How cool is this?Belichick: Yeah.

We are on a Madden bus,

the Madden Cruiser, in New Orleans.

My favorite announcer.

When he interviewed you on the bus,

it was pretty cool.

It's kind of like being summoned to the castle.

Yeah. John was larger than life.

He makes a little basketball twist there and pivot.

And boom -- the ball's there

right again between the 8 and the 9.

Oh, is he happy!

When he would broadcast a game,

just knowing he was broadcasting it

made it seem a little bit more special.

Yeah.I can't imagine a Super Bowl.

We know John Madden called more Super Bowls

in New Orleans than any other city.

Well, one thing I can tell you -- we're ready.

Madden: We've been here for a week.

And as you walk around New Orleans,

which is a great place to have a Super Bowl.

They know how to put on a party.

Yeah. He called a couple of our Super Bowls down here.

Yeah, he called two of your Super Bowls.

If the Patriots are going to win,

Drew Bledsoe has to have a big day.

How are the Patriots going to win?

Because they really can't score a lot of points on offense.

I think it's their defense.

Now we're in New Orleans. "The Big Easy." Great city.

Oh, yeah.

Jazz. Jambalaya.

What a spot.

The riverboats. Beignets.

Summerall: And very narrow streets.

Madden: Tough for a bus to get down

some of those streets, isn't it?

♪

Strahan: So where do you want to go first?

Back where it all started.Bourbon Street?

How about old Tulane Stadium?

Alright. You're right.

But can you drop me off at Bourbon Street

so I can get some beignets?

I'm a little hungry.

[ Laughs ]

Belichick: After I dropped Michael off at Bourbon Street,

the Madden Cruiser brought me to Yulman Stadium.

Any conversation about New Orleans football

starts here, where old Tulane Stadium,

home of the Sugar Bowl for 41 years, once stood.

Announcer: Davey's third touchdown!

You've seen the split "T" played to perfection.

Otis Taylor! Great move! And the Chiefs lead...

Staubach to go to the air. Complete!

The touchdown is caught by Mike Ditka!

Belichick: All that's left now is this plaque.

Fortunately, I know someone who played here.

Archie. Bill, how you doing?

Is New Orleans ready for its record-tying 11th Super Bowl?

I think so. Everyone's pretty excited.

God, when I first came here, Bill,

it seemed like we had a Super Bowl every 3 or 4 years.

It was a huge stadium.

Announcer: You are looking at the Tulane Stadium.

81,000 fans. A capacity crowd are on...

Belichick: Archie won a Sugar Bowl for Ole Miss

at old Tulane Stadium in 1970.

Announcer: Archie Manning! Another 80-yard drive.

Belichick: In 1971, it became his permanent home.

The New Orleans Saints select on the first round

quarterback Archie Manning, University of Mississippi.

What do you remember most about old Tulane Stadium?

You know, the Saints played eight years in Tulane Stadium

before we moved in to the Superdome.

There was always a lot going on.

Wasn't just a football game.

I mean, Al Hirt was always playing.

[ "When the Saints Go Marching In" plays ]

They still had hedges around the field,

which was pretty cool. I thought that was neat.

Bill, you know, three of the first nine

Super Bowls were here.

Super Bowl IV, when the Chiefs upset the Vikings.

Wasn't Coach Stram miked up for that game?

He was.

Come on, Lenny! Pump it in there, baby!

Just keep matriculating the ball down the field, boys.

Matriculating right on down the field.

65 toss power trap. That might pop wide open, Rats.

Announcer: Running play coming to Garrett on a trap!

Touchdown! Garrett scores!

See that, boys... Nice going, baby!

He called himself "The Little Mentor."

The Mentor. 65 toss power trap!

Yeah! [ Laughs ]

And then the next Super Bowl,

that was Super Bowl VI, right?

Announcer: The game we've been waiting for.

Now the Dallas Cowboys beat the Miami Dolphins

from Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana.

I remember coming to that game.

That's when the Cowboys were really rocking and rolling.

Announcer: Staubach drops back to pass.

Pass to the end zone! Touchdown!

It's "The Hammer," Mike Ditka!

The Dolphins were getting good,

but they weren't there yet.

Bob Lilly chasing, doggedly, Bob Griese.

And that was a 29-yard loss.

They didn't even score.

They didn't score a touchdown in that game.

And then Super Bowl IX.

Steelers and the Vikings again.

Announcer: Super Bowl IX.

It's been an ugly day here in New Orleans.

I remember sitting in the stands that day.

We don't have cold weather here in New Orleans.

Then a front came in that night.

It was really cold.

I mean, it got down in the 30's.

Harris running wide to the left!

Walks into the end zone for the touchdown!

Steelers dominated. They were so good.

Announcer: Pittsburgh, the Super Bowl champs.

Their best years are ahead of them.

That was the last game in old Tulane Stadium.

In 1975, we moved in to the Superdome.

Belichick: The venue is only part

of what makes New Orleans a great Super Bowl city.

It's also known for its entertainment and cuisine.

See, now, here's a turkey.

We got one leg, two legs, three legs, four legs,

five legs, six legs.

Belichick: That brought Archie and I to the place

John Madden fell in love with a local dish

that changed Thanksgiving forever.

You know, Bill, John ordered turducken

so often, they named one after him.

What exactly is it?

A turducken is a de-boned stuffed turkey

stuffed with a de-boned duck stuffed with a de-boned chicken.

So how did John fall in love with this thing?

Well, a local radio personality

was talking about it on the radio.

"John Madden's coming to do a Saints game.

Wouldn't it be nice if he tried this turducken?"

He said, "Absolutely. I'd love to try it."

Two weeks after that, Fox called.

"John Madden wants the turducken

to be the official food for the All Madden Team.

You think you can put six legs on one of them?"

Madden: Now, here's my turducken.

You got the turkey on the outside,

then you stuff the turkey with a duck,

and then you stuff the duck with a chicken.

So it's tur-duck-en.

"Tur" for turkey, "duck" for ducken,

and the "en" for chicken.

Mistich: Every game he was at,

he was showing you how to cut it.

So, you cut it, like, right down here.

[ Laughs ]

See? And then this is what it looks like inside.

Turducken really became popular after that.

There were people holding signs up with "turducken."

Where do we start?Go ahead and try it.

So you got the turkey, the sausage,

the duck, and the chicken and cornbread dressing.

It's a Louisiana staple.

Because John Madden talked about it so much.

Dig in. Well, that looks good.

See if y'all like it as much as John Madden liked it.

♪♪

That's really good.Enjoy, gentlemen.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Belichick: New Orleans wouldn't be New Orleans

without black magic, so I decided

to look up the French Quarter's most notorious voodoo priestess.

Woman: Leapin' lizards. Lookee here.

Mr. Bill Belichick. Is that you?

Madame Cinnamon Black?

Bonjour. Oui, oui.

I'm here to find out

if there was a curse on the Saints.

[ Eerie music plays ]

At NFL Films, in this section of our film vault,

over here...

Now, this is all the greatest plays

in New Orleans Saints history.

Belichick: Lore has it the Superdome was built

over an old burial ground.

That's why the Saints had a losing season

for their first 20 years.

Announcer: The Bucs defense has scored three times

on pass interceptions,

and Tampa Bay will have its first victory ever.

There's no way to describe it.

No. There really isn't.

No way you can explain it.

That curse goes wayback.

There was a cemetery there.

It was called the Girod Street Cemetery.

♪

Thousands and thousands of tombs were there.

It sits right on the left-hand side

of LaSalle Street of the Superdome.

Most of us thought it was the bones

that were found between there and the Hyatt Regency.

[ Laughs ]Madame...

Yes. I have another question.

What does this mean?

Where did you get thatfrom?

Before Super Bowl XXXVI,

there were some pins in the Rams logo.

Do you think this doll had

anything to do

with the Patriots' victory over the Rams?

Summerall: The Patriots have won Super Bowl XXXVI.

Of course. Voodoo is the belief of God.

It's the belief of celestial spirits.

And it's the belief of angels.

The voodoo is, too, inside of you.

Wow.

[ Laughing ]

[ Laugh echoing ]

Belichick: If what Madame Cinnamon said

about voodoo is true,

my doll made a difference in Super Bowl XXXVI.

Belichick: Well, Ty. Back to the Superdome.

Law: Good old days.

It's been a long time since I've been down here.

Belichick: So did cornerback Ty Law,

who set the tone for the game.

Belichick: You know, Ty, they told me

that the Superdome was cursed.

It was built on a cemetery.

And it felt like the Patriots were cursed here,

losing in Super Bowl XX...

Announcer: The Chicago Bears are world champions of football!

...and then Super Bowl XXXI.

Announcer: The Vince Lombardi Trophy is coming home!

But we broke the curse --

Super Bowl XXXVI when we beat the Rams.

This guy may have had something to do with it.

Where did you get that from?!

It was given to me before the game.

I don't know by who.

I'm glad you decided not to share that with the team

because it probably would've scared the hell out of us.

I was scared to death.

If he helped us, appreciate it. I'd dap you up.

But I don't play with that [bleep] right there, Bill.

I got something to show you here.

I had these jackets made for every Super Bowl.Mm-hmm.

This is one from Super Bowl XXXI.

-XXXI? -Yeah.

We don't want that [bleep].

Yeah. Get rid of that. Alright. XXXVI.

Oh, okay. See? Oh. See?

It's not a Hall of Fame jacket.

Let me see. I think I can --

I think I can fit that one right there, Bill.

Oh, that feels good.

Let me join you.Okay. Yeah. Yes, sir.

Announcer: Good afternoon, everyone.

From the Louisiana Superdome,

it is Super Bowl XXXVI

between the Patriots and St. Louis Rams.

Well, you guys had a big job that day

covering those guys, with Kurt.

Remember they used to call them "The Track Team,"

"The Greatest Show on Turf"? Yeah.

You know, my thing was I never seen anybody

win the 100 with somebody standing in their lane.

In front of them. That's right.

Madden: Bill Belichick told me the other night.

He said, "We've just got to be physical."

He said, "The only way we can win this game

is we have to be more physical on them

and we have to find other ways to score

other than our offense."

Every game has a couple big plays in it.

Really, the play of the game

was Vinatieri's kick and your interception.

It was right down here, wasn't it?

Right here on this sideline.

Announcer: And Warner goes back to throw.

And here's the blitz by Mike Vrabel.

The pass is intercepted!

Picked off by Ty Law!

30, 25, 20!

15, 10, 5! Touchdown!

Ty Law!

What did you see on the play?

I always got to give credit to Mike Vrabel.

Madden: Watch Mike Vrabel.

He's number 50, and he's the guy.

And he hits Kurt Warner just as he threw that ball.

Ty Law gets it and takes it in the end zone.

It was one of the easiest interceptions I ever had.

"Why did you raise your hand?"

I get that question all the time.

I can't tell you, either.

It was just spontaneous. Like, "Damn it. I got it."

Your interception gave us a lot of confidence,

but it went from being a 14-point lead,

and then they scored.

Summerall: Kurt Warner. This one's not over yet, John.

Madden: No, no, no, it's not.

Belichick: Then Proehl caught the touchdown.

Now it's tied.

Summerall: And Ricky Proehl is gonna score.

Belichick: And, of course, we didn't have any time-outs

because I used them all to give the defense a rest

when we were trying to stop them.

I ain't gonna lie. I was tired as hell.

Get your rest! Get your rest! Get your rest!

We were about spent.

Now we got a young quarterback

with 1:21 left.

Madden: Now, with no time-outs,

I think that the Patriots,

with this field position,

you have to just run the clock out.

You have to play for overtime now.

Law: What was going on in your head from a coaching standpoint?

I'm thinking I trust Tom enough not to turn the ball over.

Our best player is Adam Vinatieri.

And if we can just get him into range,

that would be better than having to go back out

and play in overtime because I knew

that defensively we had just expended so much energy.

Summerall: Brady's gonna throw it.

Nothing stupid.

He gets it up to J.R. Redmond.

Madden: I don't agree with what the Patriots are doing right here.

I would -- I would play for overtime.

Belichick: We had our doubters, including John,

but we also had voodoo... and Tom Brady.

Summerall: Redmond gets the first down.

Madden: He got out of bounds and stopped the clock.

And now I kind of like what the Patriots are doing.

Belichick: When they went to the three-man rush,

Troy was able to beat

the drop tackle across the field.

Summerall: Up the middle. Caught. And it's Troy Brown.

That was a big play.

And they might be in Vinatieri's range.

Announcer: And Adam Vinatieri will try to win it

with a 47-yard field-goal attempt.

I ran out, out onto the field, you know,

to get a better angle to see whether it was good or not.

Announcer: Set to go. Snap. Ball down. Kick up.

Kick is on the way.

And it is good!

It's good! It's good!

And the Patriots are Super Bowl champions!

Law: When we were here the first time,

the worst part was seeing

that yellow and green confetti... Yes.

...dropping all down over our heads.

I did not want to experience that again.

This time, it was the Patriots' colors.

I will never forget that.

If you look at most of the guys that won multiples,

this one was the one.

This is the one that everyone wears, so...

You got so damn many. I don't know.

What you got? Eight now?

Yeah. Eight.

Which one is your favorite?

They're all my favorite.See?!

See? He can't even be honest with us and say...

This one was special. This one was really special.

[ Laughs ] Alright.It was really special.

Belichick: The first Super Bowl win is always special.

And we did it in New Orleans.

Thanks, man.Alright. Thank you, man.

Hey, man. Love you, man.Love you.

Strahan: When you take a road trip with somebody you know,

you get to learn a lot about them.

Belichick: Yeah.I get to ask questions.

I got a hard one for you.

Alright.

Favorite Super Bowl halftime.

I'll start with Super Bowl XXVIII,

where Jimmy Johnson came out in the second half

and just gave the ball to Emmitt Smith.

They went right down the field.

Announcer: Draw to Smith. Tackled but breaks away!

To the 10! To the 5! Touchdown, Emmitt Smith!

I'll tell you another one.

We were down 21-3 against Atlanta,

and I made some halftime adjustments,

and then we went down 28-3.

Announcer: Touchdown, Atlanta.

[ Laughs ] That's not what I'm talking about. Oh.

I'm talking about halftime performances.

You know? Dancing.Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, music.

Not halftime play adjustments!

Alright. I'll watch it this year.

[ Laughs ]

That's a good idea. [ Laughs ]

Listen up, now! On the runs...

I've coached in 12 Super Bowls.

That's meant missing

what the rest of America sees at halftime.

When was the last time

you saw a halftime show -- Super Bowl?

Well, when I was with New England

and we played Green Bay,

we went back up to the press box,

you know, with the other coaches,

but the halftime show ran long.

They were doing motorcycle jumping and all that.

And it was so loud.

I mean, I was -- God. I had a headache.

Summerall: Well, there was a lot of noise at the half.

And I got a bigger one by the end of the game.

[ Laughs ]

Summerall: And the Packers are gonna enjoy

the Lombardi Trophy.

Belichick: Today the halftime show

is almost as big as the game itself.

Rihanna. Coldplay.

Snoop D-O-Double G.

All that hoopla has its roots in the Big Easy.

It's a show in itself, right?

It's a show within itself.

You know anybody down here that can give

a scouting report on halftime?

Oh, come on, Coach. This is New Orleans.

This is the best music in the world.

Go see Pamela Blackmon. Preservation Hall.

Thanks, Mike. You can drop me off here.

♪♪

Belichick: Preservation Hall is a historic jazz venue

located in the heart of the French Quarter.

It's been entertaining folks since 1961.

What better place to learn how New Orleans music

influenced the Super Bowl halftime show?

I met up with program manager Pamela Blackmon

and musician Roderick Paulin to find out how.

I'm so proud to be a supporter of Preservation Hall.

The history here is incredible.

You can hear the musicians talking.

You can make eye contact with them.

It's so intimate.

Paulin: That's why people come to New Orleans.

Aside from the culture and the food,

they want that energy. They want to see us.

They want to talk to us and have fun.

Is that why New Orleans music

was a part of so many early Super Bowls?

The NFL wanted the best of the best, to be honest.

And, because of that, decided to go ahead

and hire some of the most iconic musicians in New Orleans.

For example, Pete Fountain, Al Hirt,

Doc Severinsen.

Belichick: And the marching bands.

Grambling State, Southern

have played in a combined nine Super Bowls.

Coach, I can tell you marching band is not a scene.

Marching band is a way of life

in the state of Louisiana.

We're talking about the Grambling Marching Band

and the Human Jukebox from theSouthern University.

The way that they move, the way that they sound,

that showmanship.

You know, most people, they will go to a football game.

Halftime, they leave to go get food.

When it's Grambling and Southern,

that is game time, Coach.

We were able to dig up some old footage.

Oh, that's awesome.Let's check it out.

[ Marching band playing ]

Blackmon: Super Bowl I.

Paulin: That's Grambling.

Yep.

A little spin move there.I know!

See, now, what they're marching is 8 to 5.

8 marching steps to every 5 yards.

These guys have to be in shape to march...

Look at that!

Look at that. 8 to 5.

In step perfectly.

Blackmon: Oh, that was a classic moment. Yes.

The white band from Arizona State University

and the black band Grambling,

came together to make that formation

of the United States.

Belichick: Grambling State played at

Super Bowls I, IX, XXI, and XXXII.

In a few minutes, we're actually all of us

going to see Denver play Dallas football

here in the Louisiana Superdome.

Belichick: Southern played at Super Bowls XII, XV,

XXIV, with Charlie Brown for some reason,

XLVII...

and my personal favorite, Super Bowl IV,

perhaps the most New Orleans of halftime shows.

Blackmon: Alright. Here we go.

Paulin: Fast skating. Here we go.

Belichick: So this is outdoors at Tulane Stadium.

Paulin: Oh, yeah.

Look. This is when

the Battle of New Orleans was re-enacted.

What is this theater?

Shots are actually being fired.

There's a horse running around out there.

What is -- Cannons!

I think everybody in the community down here,

they -- they absolutely love this game.

It's the number-one sport.

It's the number-one sport.

To be honest, that's probably why

I started to play this game,

you know, coming outside and realizing

that, man, the neighborhood,

they like the guys that play football.

It's good tradition, too.

You know, I remember when Fournette

was in the eighth grade,

and he was, like, the same size he is now.

Oh, man. He must have been hard to tackle.

Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

I mean, he was a special talent.

Saint Aug is one of those schools.

Like, we're responsible

for this part of our community, you know?

And I think those -- those students and players,

I think they all embody that.

I think they took down Zachary.

So a pretty good weekend for Tyrann.

You've got a great feel for the game.

Thanks, Coach.I saw that at LSU.

Saw that in your pro career here.

It's like, well, he shouldbe here,

but he's over there because he sees something

that takes him over there.

How'd you feel about coming back home now?

You've kind of come full circle.

I mean, it was just an opportunity I couldn't pass up.

so I think to come back home and to try to do it

with the Saints, that would be a dream come true.

Where else would you want to be, man?

Well, congratulations. You're such a credit

to your team, your community, your school.

Thanks, Coach. I appreciate that.

get to win a Super Bowl inNew Orleans?

I headed back to the Superdome

to meet up with a player who did just that --

hall-of-famer Ed Reed.

Belichick: Ed. Great to see you again.

All the times I played against you, you were a major headache.

Yeah, feeling's the same, Coach.

until you know where number 20 is."

With Ed, he gave me a full-on migraine.

Announcer: Ed Reed, playing center field, read it perfectly.

Ed Reed -- a one-man wrecking crew

for the Baltimore Ravens!

When he's reading the quarterback...Yeah.

...those receivers will run right past him,

and he never flinches.Yeah.

Brady and I talked about that.

It's like, "How did Ed do that?

He must be -- In his sleep,

he must dream about to drive a quarterback crazy."

I did. [ Laughs ]

that's ever played this game that I've seen.

You're awesome.

So, Ed, you grew up around here.

Yes, I did, Coach.

About 10 minutes from here.

I went to Destrehan High School,

and my freshman year, we played

in the state championship here in the Superdome.

We lost 28-27 to West Monroe.

Ed played for another championship in the Superdome.

in New Orleans.

Good luck. Yes.

Congratulations for getting back here in New Orleans, man.Yeah.

How about this, huh?Yeah.

It had to be a thrill for you to come back home

to the Superdome.

I couldn't sleep. I had sprained both MCL's.

I had third degree on my left

and a second degree on my right.

Shout-out to my boy Kaepernick,

but I had him pinned, Coach.

I had like five other picks I could have got,

but I couldn't break.

Well, you got him once, right?Yeah.

Announcer: On first down, Kaepernick gonna drop back.

Gonna throw it middle of the field.

And he's intercepted by Reed!

Reed had just tied the postseason record

for most interceptions, as the New Orleans native...

On two bad knees. [ Laughs ]

Yeah. It was on -- You could see I was still trying to score.

And I'm like, "Nah."

Yeah!

couldn't have been going better for the Ravens.

Then the unthinkable happened.

Why is the clock stopped?!

[ Crowd murmuring ]

Man: Somehow a massive outage of power

in New Orleans Superdome has put this game on hold.

So, tell me about the blackout.

What did you guys do?

What we did was, Coach, just stayed focused.

It's crazy because the lighting was like this.

It was just stay focused.

Announcer: As the players now beginning to realize

this may be a little bit of a delay,

as different players sitting out on the field,

starting to stretch, trying to stay loose.

Belichick: The delay lasted 34 minutes.

The supposed cause --

all those pyrotechnics during Beyoncé's halftime show.

I hope Kendrick Lamar

don't come here and do the same thing.

It was just what the 49ers needed.

We're ready to go, Ed. Buckle up. We're getting ready to go.

'Cause I'm like, "Boy!"

It take these '78s to warm back up a little bit more.

Meanwhile, San Francisco had a young team.

They came back like it was nothing.

Announcer: Kaepernick now play-fakes to Gore. Looking.

Drills one to the near side. Crabtree catches. Spins away!

And Crabtree will take it in for a touchdown!

Frank Gore will run in for a touchdown!

We've got a ballgame now. Look out.

During that time, you can see us

going up and down the sideline.

Just like, "Guys, I don't care how many points they score.

So long as they don't score more than us, we win this."

Let's go hunt, man. We love playing D.

This is it for me and you, man.

I don't care, man. We're not losing this game.

Announcer: Now the 49ers' Super Bowl

will come down to fourth down.

Lewis: One play. One play. One play.

But you needed one more play on defense to win. Yeah.

Announcer: The 49ers trying to take the lead

for the first time in the Super Bowl.

Kaepernick. Lob. To the end zone.

Incomplete! No flags on the play!

The Baltimore Ravens are Super Bowl champions!

It was awesome, man.

It really was, like, the best feeling

I could possibly think of in life.

To win a Super Bowl here, like, every time

I come home during Mardi Gras

and get on the float with Zulu,

it feels like that parade, you know, like -- Right.

Yeah. It feels like that Super Bowl parade every time.

Belichick: Ed's right.

The Super Bowl just feelsNew Orleans.

And tonight at Super Bowl LIX,

another team will make memories that last a lifetime.

Thank you, Coach.

I really appreciate you bringing me back.

Super Bowl here in New Orleans.

Got to be the best host city ever.

Absolutely.

Appreciate you, Coach.Appreciate you, Ed.

Oh. Say hello to Michael Strahan for me.

Will do, Will do. Yes, sir.

Hey. And don't forget to turn the lights out.

That's funny.

Belichick: Super Bowl in New Orleans. The Superdome.

seems like something incredible always happens here.

Newhouse's halfback pass...

Announcer: Newhouse goes left, wants to pass.

Fires it deep for Goldie Richards!

Caught! Touchdown!

49ers scored 55 points.

Announcer: Montana launches it for the end zone!

Jerry Rice!

Even "Fridge" scored.

Announcer: Yes, William Perry has scored

on a 1-yard touchdown run in the Super Bowl!

You know, there are a lot of people here in this city

who look at the Superdome as more than a place

where you play football.

Because here you had Hurricane Katrina.Yeah.

And it was the only place that wasn't underwater.

You had 20,000 people that -- that needed that Superdome.

And then what the New Orleans Saints --

And all the other teams rallied around to the Saints

and this community to help them out during that time.

♪

-How you doing, buddy? -How you doing?

We're doing good. We're blessed, man.

Everything alright down there?

Yes, indeed. We gonna be alright.

We're gonna bounce back. Thanks a lot for the support. Word up.

Well, there is a Katrina memorial

right up the street on Canal Street.

Let's go check it out.Let's do it.

I'd like to do that.Let's do it.

Belichick: With the 20th anniversary

of Hurricane Katrina approaching,

Mike and I toured the memorial

with Fox Super Bowl LIX host Curt Menefee

and New Orleans native Rocsi Diaz.

This is peaceful.

Yeah, they actually say if you look at it from above,

it looks like the swirl of a hurricane.

Oh, wow.

Between the fire crews,

there's like 85 souls that are buried here.

Thank you, Rocsi.

Here you guys go. Here, Mike.

Thank you.

Strahan: You know, we're here at the memorial.

Why was this storm so devastating?

The failure of the levees

was really what caused the devastation

and the flooding that we saw.

We just never had seen a surge or a storm like that.

And I'm from New Orleans.

We used to throw hurricane parties

when the hurricanes were coming. Really?

So to not leave the city wasn't a foreign thing.

And you did have the families here, and people were stranded.

How was that, emotionally?

It was scary. I mean, you got to remember,

just like after any natural disasters, there's no phones.

You know, there's no way of communicating.

There's no way of knowing where your loved ones are.

All we had to do was wait for the water to subside.

And it was -- it was rough. It was really rough.

Do you think people take a certain pride

in that resilience and bouncing back?

I think it's like any comeback story, right?

When you lose everything and you're able to still stay

and still make a life in a way

and come back and see your city stronger,

it's like, "Wow. Look at what we've built now."

And we take so much pride of how far it's come.

Belichick: New Orleans did a lot for football.

Now football did something for New Orleans.

[ Crowd cheering ]

Announcer: And football is back

in the Louisiana Superdome!

Does it get any better?

I can't believe that it can.

What is the impact of Steve Gleason had on this city?

I mean, he blocked the punt for a touchdown.

Announcer: Look out! Right through!

Punt kick block by Steve Gleason!

And a scoop and score!

Touchdown, New Orleans!

Diaz: If we're gonna beat anybody, let it be those dirty birds.

We were so happy!

[ Laughter ]So happy!

Announcer: You could not script this

any better than it just happened

for the New Orleans Saints.

Honestly, that game was our Super Bowl.

This game ball is going to everybody in this city.

This city is getting this game ball

from our organization, this team.

Menefee: Alright. So that game was your Super Bowl until then.

Three years after that game, you got the real thing.

Talk about anxiety. Just --

I had tickets to the game.

I was in Miami, had tickets to the game,

and I gave my tickets away.

Why? Because if I would have been there

and it would have not went our way,

it would have crushed me.

Announcer: Third and 5 from the New Orleans 31.

Manning in the shotgun. Puts Collie in motion.

Looks in his direction. It's picked off!

Picked off! It's Tracy Porter again!

He's running free! He's gonna go all the way!

It is a Saint touchdown!

70 yards on the return!

The miracle in Miami has happened!

The Saints have won the Super Bowl!

When we won, the joy, crying...

I ran up and down Ocean Drive acting a fool to anybody

who did not wear a Saints jersey that day.

It was only right.

We're a city that's gone through so much,

and that meant the world to us.

This city can do a parade. What was that parade like?

Oh. First of all, we do parades.

Yeah.[ Laughter ]

Youknow, Bill. We do parades.

I've seen parades.

You've seen parades.

Extra special. Extra special.

I mean, they're our pride and joy.

And even now, win or lose, we love them.

It don't matter.

When you become a true fan, you just --

You ride with them till the wheels fall off.

Belichick: Today the Superdome is more than a stadium.

It's a symbol.

Outside stands a statue of Steve Gleason

as a lasting tribute to the role

the Saints played in the city's rebirth.

Diaz: It just brought the whole city closer together.

There's just like so much pride

that oozes out of being from New Orleans.

And now to have the Super Bowl coming back here,

I mean, that's got to make anyone from New Orleans proud.

Diaz: This is a hospitality city.

We are made to host Super Bowls. We're made to do Mardi Gras.

Bill, you have to come down to Mardi Gras.

Have you experienced Mardi Gras?

Have you been on a float?

Every year for four years in college.

-In coll-- Ohh. -What?

You were a Mardi Gras guy?

I've learned so much about New Orleans.

I learned so much about Bill.

Wait a minute.[ Laughs ]

Strahan: We're high above the city of New Orleans.

We're out here for Super Bowl LIX.

How incredible is this? Two of my favorite people.

I know.Tom, I know for you,

this city holds a special place.Sure.

You won your first Super Bowl here.

Yeah, Super Bowl XXXVI.

How many years ago was that? I'm doing the math right now.

I'm doing the same thing.

It was a lot -- too many years ago.

But it was a magical experience.

Madden: I'll tell you, Tom Brady,

that's the way you win a Super Bowl.

Is this the one you took a nap in pregame?

You took a nap in pregame?This is insane. Yeah.

In pregame. And this tells you how young you are.

So, we had to warm up on the field,

and then we had like 50 minutes before we went back out.

So I took my pads off, and I was like,

you know, I'm just gonna lay down and rest.

And I literally took like a 15-minute nap before the game,

which is interesting.Before his first Super Bowl.

I know, I know.I'd be too, like, excited.

I know. That's the thing you think.

The difference is, when you're young,

you don't realize the enormity of what you're going through,

because I had not really been in the League that long.

18 years later, when I was playing in the Super Bowl,

I couldn't sleep the night before the game.

I was so anxious.

So I had no anxiety when I was 24 years old.

So what you don't know...You don't know.

You don't know.Yeah. It's so good, though.

And, Erin, how about you? How many Super Bowls have you done?

I think this is my fifth.

Get out of here, girl.Yeah. Yeah.

Do you ever get nervous anymore?

Oh, my God. I want to die. My first thing,

I'm always shaking. I think that's why, like --

And that's what makes you know you still love it, right?

And in addition to the game, you're like Miss Fashion.

Oh, please. WEAR by E.A.

You always come up with something really cool

for a Super Bowl. What you got this year?

Well, we did a collab.

Oh! Gorgeous. How cute is that?

Wow, very cute.A collab with Rebecca Minkoff.

It's our little Super Bowl leather jacket.

Don't try to wear that on.I was gonna say.

Your arm's not even gonna fit in there.

You're gonna ruin that.It's a little too tight.

Wow, the leather's really nice. Great quality.

Well, thank you, Tom. As a guy that looks fantastic on air,

I appreciate your thoughts.

But you know what I love? I love, too, that it looks nice --

It does look good on you.Let me teach you something, Tom.

Yeah. There it goes.

It's the over the shoulder look.

I love it.

So, you won your first Super Bowl here.

Now you're on the other side.Yeah.

Little nervous?

I would say a little anxious,

but I feel like I know these teams really well.

And we're there to support the game, 'cause that's the show.

And I love to play a supporting role in such a great event.

I think the longer you're out of the game,

which for me like 17th year, which is amazing --

Wow.I want a great game.

You're so cute.

That last game was against me, unfortunately.

I told you.My last game was against you.

And after that, I realized there was no better way

to end my career.

No, after you slapped me a few times,

you're like, "I'm walking off, alright? Take that."

Yeah, do it again, Strahan, do it again.

But I love you. I want a great game.

I want a game that lives up to all the hype.

But I also love to see some young talent

who no one expected...
