How long are the Saints locked in New Orleans?

Just wondering how long they’re dialed in in New Orleans. It seems like the league likes to get teams to the biggest markets that produce the most revenue possible.
Does Gayle have any agreements in place to keep the Saints here long-term?
New Orleans will probably never get another team if the Saints leave because we’re such a small market. We’re passionate but small.

Rita? As in Rita Benson LeBlanc? She has no ownership interest in the team anymore. It's owned by Gayle Benson Leblanc.

Green Bay?
Pittsburgh?
Buffalo?
Jacksonville?
I think New Orleans is ok.

Pittsburgh and Jacksonville are way bigger than NOLA.
Pittsburgh has 3-4 times more population in its metro area than New Orleans.
Jacksonville is the largest city in the US by land area and more and more people move to Florida every year. People are moving out of Louisiana by contrast.

I read recently the Superdome is getting even more enhancements. John Mecom is working on getting that done so they can focus on the Smoothie King Center next.
N.O.Saints are fine.

I think the NFL wants a team in New Orleans just for the ability to host Super Bowls here. No other city does it better…..when there’s electricity.

Saints aren't going anywhere anytime soon, even if they got a new owner. The league would never let it happen.
The Pelicans are another matter. Unless they get a new Arena in the next decade I think that will be an issue.

None of this matters. The Superdome is sold out with a waiting list and the fan support is there. Plenty of eyes watch them on TV.
Take a look at this social media footprint report from few months ago. The Saints have the 11th most social media followers in the entire league. The Jaguars are DEAD LAST. That's the shite the NFL cares about. The Saints will be in New Orleans for the rest of all of our lifetimes.

Pittsburgh is 28th in size at 2.3 million
Jacksonville is 38th at 1.675 million
New Orleans is 47th at 1.246 million
Buffalo is 49th at 1.161 million
So, Jacksonville is larger but not 4 times larger.

I see Jacksonville is about to build a new stadium so ultimately, the decision will be made for you. The next Saints owner will want a new stadium, the state won’t be able to fund it, and another city will offer the world.
Its an unpopular opinion but it’s going to happen. We won’t be able to do anything about it. Take it to the bank.

I never said that. Your reading comprehension is failing you.
Jacksonville is the largest city in the Us by land area and Florida is a popular destination for people to migrate to. They have tons of growth potential.

More people in our media market will watch the Saints lose a noon regular season game than people in the Los Angeles media market watched the Rams win the Superbowl.
Saints games have like a 60 share across our media market. Rams games are less than 10
FACTS!!

The premise is wrong. The teams that recently moved are the ones without a suitable stadium.
Rams
Chargers
Raiders
Now at least with the Rams, the NFL did want not only a team in the city but a multi purpose stadium to promote. So it tapped Kroenke (an independently wealthy guy with experience handling such things) and they kinda screwed over St Louis. But that place was a dump.
