BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Baton Rouge
is gearing up to be the family friendly attraction for the Super Bowl XLVII weekend.
The game is
just over 30 days away and tourism leaders say they expect the Capital City to
reap a $20 million impact from all of the visitors.
All of that
money will go to retailers and hotels.

expected to fill up as they would for an in-town event like Bayou Country Superfest.
Hotel receptionists look to remain busy for the next month, as Baton Rouge looks to benefit from the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
