According to an article published in the New York Daily News, February 5, In 1971 when the site for the Superdome was being excavated, workers unearthed the human remains from what was once the Girod Street Cemetery. The article went on to detail that the bodies buried in the cemetery were the remains of people who died from the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1850 and cholera epidemic of 1930.
