Throb · Mon Sep 25, 2006 7:49 pm NFL: WEEK 3 RESULTS, PLUS SAINTS RETURN HOME.

The NFL's New Orleans Saints make an emotional return to their Superdome home on Monday as they host Atlanta.
The Superdome became a symbol of the devastation inflicted on New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina last year.

It housed up to 25,000 increasingly desperate homeless people in conditions that degenerated into squalor.

But a major refurbishment programme means the venue is now ready to host NFL games again, with all Saints' home matches sold out this season.
