Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill directed Fox News to the New Orleans Police Department for questions about the barricades but said her office "will be evaluating everything over the next few weeks in preparation for the Super Bowl."
"Local law enforcement was the lead agency for preparations in advance of the Sugar Bowl," Murrill said. "Those questions should be directed towards the New Orleans Police Department. We can assure you that we will be evaluating everything over the next few weeks in preparation for the Super Bowl."
