I completely agree. Keep that M-B money rolling in!
Unfortunately that is your tax dollars at work. Benson gets all of the MB money & spends not even a penny on anything at the Dome.

thee Mercedes Benz money essentially makes the state's multi-million dollar supplement to the Saints obsolete. The state is no longer required to make those payments. So.... saving some tax dollars dontcha think?

Yea, because the city reaps none of the benefits......I guess max occupancy at the Hyatt last night was due to a checkers conference in town?

I predict they will run out of food early if they only have 4 restaurants serving and you can't bring your own.



i know they lost out on some $$ to be made last night, running out of beer about an hour before kickoff.

Is it safe to assume no goofy distractions? "Live entertainment by Louisiana Spice" has me concerned.

This is excellent...Thanks OP. I was gonna be down there for the Saints game the next day and really didn't want to watch the LSU game in the hotel. I haven't really been there yet, do you think people will actually be sitting and watching the game, or will it be a free for all?

that state will make over 20 billion dollars off the Saints from 2005 to 2020. Best investment the state has ever made
