With Louisiana Purchase (1803),New Orleans acquired a password to officially become
an American city,
and soon to be the 3rd largest port of U.S.
The original city was built in Vieux Carre (Old Square)/French Quarter,and the rest in Faubourgs(suburbs),and furthermore on an old plantation,Livaudais,
away from riverfront business establishment :Garden District

As of the formula I have submitted to New Orleans newspaper,Times-Picayune :

O...Olympic City.New Orleans is a natural place for Olympic games.She is warm,hospitable,organized and sporty.
R...River in the middle of city is great for sightseeing and water sport events like rowing and canoeing.
L...Lands are plenty for sport facilities,in and around the city.
E...Experience in sport events,local,national and international.
A...Abundance of hotels,restaurants,museums, galleries and parks for guests or events.Convention Center is another plus which could easily be converted for sport events or big screen televisions.
N...network of neighboring cities such as Baton Rouge,with LSU campus,other colleges and universities for contributing to field sports and similar events.
S...Superdome, an indoor renovated,modern facility,with Hornet Arena, to deny seasonal storms for events such as Soccer,Basketball,Volleyball ,etc...

Dear Ostaad Framani: As you know, I love the 'game of words', so here is my take on your piece on the origin of New Orleans: As you know the 'Iran City' as in China City in LA (I mean LA as in Los Angeles, not La as in Louisiana)which is the Westwood BLVD, is now officially nicknamed as Tehrangeles. My suggestion is if you know of a strip, a district, or a street in the city of N.O. which is populated by enough Iranians to qualify for an Iranian nickname of his own, please call it خرمشهر to reflect the name of New Orleans founder Bienville, how about that?!This will also create a sisterhood relationship with the original city of the same name in Iran.
