Can we have some confederate statues tucked away in this proposed tailgate park?


I haven't heard so much collective titty-baby whining since Hillary lost.

Such a dumb move to close that off.

The name Saints may be insulting to atheists and nihilistic types. The Fighting Landrieus had a nice ring to it. The New Orleans Fighting Landrieus playing in Carpetbaggers Have Ruined This City Stadium. I like it.

your first attempt at a joke was awful, the fact that you are no tripling down on it is worrisome

The state's trying to get ahead of the game before the Saints can threaten moves to St Louis or San Diego and blackmail us into a brand new $3 billion stadium.



What does the language in the Saint's lease say?

For instance, there was about 40 mill in improvements this offseason and Benson paid for most of it
WEll bless his heart. I'd now estimate the deal was that Benson put in $25mil contingent on the "state" throwing in for a "$150 mil to $500mil renovation" in a few yrs. A crock of shite is what it is, esp for taxpayers outside of the NOLA area.

Imagine sitting in your terrace seats at a New Orleans Saints game in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and having a view of downtown New Orleans?


Screw the negativity, that would be awesome.

Well, keeping the lights on for games would be considered game changing by most people.

It was 39.5 million dollars. Benson paid 25.

That's most of it. Why are you laughing? Ignorance?

It's all a shell game, you realize?

I understand it's just the game they have to play and I'm not really begrudging it (at least not too much). I'm just not kidding myself either.
