Drew Brees is in Indianapolis, where Super Bowl XLVI will be played Sunday.  Next year, the Super Bowl will be played at the Superdome. 

"We expect to be there," Brees told the NFL Network.  "I would love nothing more than to be able to bring that to our fans... a home team playing in a New Orleans Super Bowl."

No team has ever played on a Super Bowl in its own stadium.

Brees added, "New Orleans obviously knows how to throw a party, knows how to put on a Super Bowl."

He said today on NFL Network that a deal will get done before free agency starts in March to keep him playing in New Orleans.

"There is no doubt in my mind that I am going to be a Saint for the rest of my career," the QB said.  "I have all the confidence in the world that we are going to get that deal done very soon."

He also said he was depressed after the season ended, because they had such a great team.
