Longtime KC Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt very nearly had a New Orleans connection. The Chiefs started as the Dallas Stars and when they moved after the 1962 season, Hunt was interested in New Orleans and Tulane Stadium. I don't know how accurate this is but I've read where Tulane shot down the idea because at that time, they didn't want to share the stadium with a pro football team.

Just think...had that come to pass, New Orleans would be playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
