NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Flags are at half-staff outside the Superdome and at nearby state buildings as fans arrived a day later than scheduled for a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game between Notre Dame and Georgia at the Sugar Bowl. The game was delayed by an attack in the nearby French Quarter that killed 14 and injured dozens more. Numerous security officers around the stadium were handling dogs trained to sniff for explosive devices.  Bourbon Street was declared open and no longer a crime scene.  While many traveling fans extended their stay to attend the game, the postponement meant many would not be able to attend. Numerous tickets listed for resale online were priced at $30 or less.  (Photo:  AP)
