re: The Superdome is the fifth oldest stadium in the NFL........

the location of the dome turns ALOT of support away

the saints have been selling tickets like a SOB sicne they dropped prices to levels we haven't seen in YEARS before katrina...before they struggled every week almost having to get bailed out time and time again to prevent tv blackouts....and this was pre storm katrina economy

there are plenty of people who have moved out of NO (and alot of these people actually make more than the city average income) whonow live in mandeville, covington, bush, praireville, gonzaales, hammond, ponchatoula

they got out of NO for a reason...crime, schools, lack of education, simple attitude and lack of consideration of many of its citizens...take your pick

putting the stadium in la place(accessible by i-55 and i-10 from 2 directions) makes it more accesible from people around the state (and region) but yet is still close enough to support people who wanted to visit BR or NO or traveled from either location for the game

would it eliminate alot of the current fans from attending some games? yeah...absolutely, but i don't think that is a bad idea
