BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – Gov. Bobby Jindal didn’t make it to the Superdome for a New Orleans Saints game during the regular season, but he’ll be cheering the Black and Gold in person now that the Super Bowl is on the line. The Saints play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in the NFC title game. The winner heads to the Super Bowl in Miami. ‘I was not planning to go because I find it easier to watch the game at home, but this is such a historic game, I can’t miss the opportunity to cheer them on in person,’ Jindal said in a statement Tuesday. Though the governor has a suite at the Superdome for his use, Jindal has watched previous Saints games from home this season – except for one of New Orleans’ preseason games, said Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin. Jindal plans to watch the Saints take on the Vikings, Plotkin said.
