An Alabama football fan's RV went up in smoke hours before her team will take the field at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Monday night.
Firefighters responded to a fire around 11 a.m. at an RV lot located across the street from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The fire caused heavy black smoke to fill the air near the stadium near the intersection of Poydras and Clara streets.
The owner of the RV tells Eyewitness News that she was in town for the Sugar Bowl. She said he still plans to attend the game to cheer on the Crimson Tide.
The New Orleans Fire Department is at the scene. No word yet on what caused the fire or if anyone was hurt.
