Sugar Bowl security beefed up to Super Bowl levels, official says

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill tells ‘Fox & Friends’ she would like to see the college bowl game in New Orleans delayed at least another day as the investigation into the Bourbon Street attack continues.

New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said Thursday security for the Sugar Bowl will be beefed up to Super Bowl levels in the wake of a terror attack on Bourbon Street.

The Sugar Bowl between the Georgia Bulldogs and Notre Dame was postponed to 4 p.m. ET on Thursday evening after it was originally scheduled for Wednesday night.

Kirkpatrick appeared on NBC’s "Today" show and gave some insight on security.

"We are going to have absolutely hundreds of officers and staff lining our streets," Kirkpatrick said, mentioning Bourbon Street as one of the places where security will be increased.

"We are staffing up at the same level if not more so than we were prepared for Super Bowl."
