What a great gesture by a great owner.

Tom Benson really has come a long way since the mid 2000s and Katrina. He must have gone through one hell of an epiphany and soul searching trip a long time ago to be like this.
Saints fans should be proud of him and the good legacy he's leaving behind.

You should move on. It's unhealthy.

Let's be honest,the guy's not around much longer, and you can't take it with you.

Benson- So how much is it going to take to get the HOF stadium renamed after me?
Baker- $11 million.
Benson- Done.

That's kind of what I was thinking. At one point Benson was the most vilified person in this state.

Dude sure likes to see his name on stuff. Benson Tower, Benson Field at Yulman Stadium, Benson Jesuit Center (Loyola), Gayle and Tom Benson Stadium (UIW), Benson Mall (Brother Martin)...am I forgetting anything?

The library at brother Martin is named after him also

We need our 2nd Round draft choices back.

How about someone asking him to fork over some dough so we can have some nice video replay screens? Tell him we will even name the damn things after him. Has $11 million to give to the HOF, but can't spare a dime so we can have decent replay screens........

Good for Tom.
As we are all sick of Roger screwing the Saints.
Well done sir!

They spent $100k on a study last year just to determine if it was feasible.
Just move the ads over and extend the scoreboard to cover the 2 ads
Having wifi is pretty awesome though
