Fans flock to Sugar Bowl in New Orleans after deadly New Year's attack

Fans from two American universities are starting to fill the Superdome in New Orleans for a highly anticipated football game as the city reels from a New Year's Day attack.

The annual Sugar Bowl, which was scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed to Thursday at 3pm local time (21:00 GMT) after a Texas man drove through a crowded New Orleans street, killing 14 people.

The game brought thousands of fans to the city to see the University of Norte Dame take on University of Georgia.

State authorities assured the public that the city was taking additional safety precautions for the game.
