PICS: Patio buckles at New Orleans sports bar during packed Saints game

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – Wrong Iron, a popular sports bar in mid-city New Orleans, was forced to close on Sunday about halfway through the Saints-Eagles game when a portion of their outdoor patio buckled.

Staff say a brief period of rain forced the packed house of Saints fans to take cover inside and on the covered patio. The weight and bouncing of the excited fans caused a portion of the patio to buckle.
