quote:

With New Orleans shut down and its Mayor Latoya Cantrell repeatedly declining to allow the Saints to have limited-capacity fans, team officials are meeting today with LSU officials about hosting upcoming games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La, per Saints' official Greg Bensel.




quote:

Greg Bensel 1/2: "LSU has been gracious and enthusiastic regarding hosting our future games and we very much appreciate their partnership. We have also discussed the possibility of moving our home games to LSU with the NFL and they are aware of our exploring this option."


quote:

Obviously, our overwhelming preference is to play our games in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with partial fan attendance but there has been no indication from the city on when, or if, this might be approved."

Let's move them to BR permanently. The longer Latoya holds out the less likely New Orleans will ever be what it once was.

Holy shite. Love it. Talk about a shot across the bow.

Latoya will only come out swinging more now, and her SHE A KWEEN defenders will be trashing the Saints on twitter relentlessly.

But this is awesome.

Would laugh my arse off if Baton Rouge hosts the NFC championship. Highly unlikely, but could you imagine?

ETA: I went to the Dolphins/Saints game (aka Nick Saban's 1st game back in Tiger Stadium post-LSU) that was played there during the displaced season

it was certainly a weird atmosphere all things considered

Poetry that Brees’ Saints career may come to an end where Aaron Brooks’ did.
