I love new Orleans. I would even live there for the right opportunity. But there is a big element in that town that thinks there is New Orleans and then there is the rest of louisiana. That attitude does in fact get old. Its not just a north louisiana vs south louisiana thing, to me its a bigger baton rouge vs new orleans thing.



thats a fact.

How am I being snobby. I'm not trying to keep people out of my "clubhouse". I'm just sick of people in NO thinking they own the team. You think Sean payton or brees gives a frick if you live there. No they just want your support.

Btw. Well put thedice. Well put

If I thought the team could derive a tangible benefit from doing so(making it easier for the team to compete in FA, and help keep the team in the future) I would be more in favor of it.

I just don't think changing the name would really increase the fan support that much from the BR/Laffy areas. North La. will always be tricky cause no one is driving that far to see the games on a weekly basis.

Also changing the name to the La. Saints doesn't help us with any fans outside of LA. on the gulf coast.
