Just basically a long version of what we already know. The new detail seems to be that Greg Norman was the key figure in putting an event here, so when he went away, the deal slowly started to collapse.

Nungesser said he’s getting “hate mail” because people think that he orchestrated the deal, and he noted that the Legislature in 2024 moved the events fund from his office back to LED.


So then what in the frick does Nungesser do??

"It doesn't matter. We've been able to clean up City Park and give it a facelift," Landry said last month on the sidelines of a conference about nuclear energy in New Orleans. "You can't expect 100% of your business deals to pan out."


Sad.

The State and LIV originally discussed a 6 yr $22 million deal for an event, but they only signed a 1-year deal in the end.

Greg Norman and state officials toured the area in a helicopter looking at courses and decided on City Park. I think ET told them no.

I have on good authority (Jim) that LIV was slated to host an event in nola for several years to come.

was pleasantly surprised when i emailed them about a refund for this event and they said, its postponed and not cancelled. i stated the future projected dates did not work for me. was thinking that was the end of that.

about a week later got my refund for the 2 tix i purchased.

That’s a really dumb thing to say. You gave them money up front. Millions. Those deals HAVE to pan out if you sign a one freaking year deal. Lmao.
