Obviously, not buying season tickets will be the biggest economic factor. But how much do things like merch sales and TV rating impact her product? Is there a way for Saints fans who aren't in the NOLA area and aren't able to attend the games to motivate ownership? Does not watching games help much? Not sure how the economics work for the team directly.

The league negotiates national merchandise, licensing, and TV contracts, which make up most of the national revenue. The 32 teams receive equal shares of this money, regardless of individual team performance. The teams generate local income through concession sales, ticket sales, and corporate sponsors.

You going to get the C-Level Baws at Entergy to stop using the monthly fees that we pay to have their suites and advertising in the Dome for their monopoly product?

She already has the money for the tv contracts so they can care less about you watching or not.

Release an article showing that she moved NFL money from Saints into the Catholic Church for covering up sexual abuse. Tainting the Saints, NFL and eventually removing her as an owner.

If you want to open a door to move the team this is one way.

Personally, I dont think the NFL will let the Saints leave New Orleans. Any new owner that comes in likely will need NFL approval to keep the Saints in the city. This whole I’m worried about new owner might move the team is really overblown. New Orleans is a big part of the NFL unlike the NBA with the pelicans.

“It was a challenging year (Easiest schedule in league) but we see potential for the future.”

That is what they will say again.

we haven't hosted a SB since 2012, NFL recently moved 3 other franchises to bigger markets, the city is declining as a whole, the Superdome is an ancient relic by comparison to most other stadiums

I am not saying it will happen and I don't think they would move the Saints for an American city at the moment but I also don't think the NFL has kept their interests in developing or exploring a global market hidden

Could I see interest in also expanding the NFL footprint to say Toronto? A bigger city, much larger market, same timezone, and similar travel? Absolutely.

I'm not saying Saints are at risk...just not saying Saints are safe either.

Weren’t we talking about that Raising Canes guy buying the team last week?

would love to get some details on this from them

Terrible cap
A medicore well compensated QB already regressing
A RB at the tail end of their prime
A WR whose best football was 4 years ago, the young guy meant to supplant them showcasing early warning signs of being soft and a diva
An OL with bed investments or draft picks at almost every single starter position
A defense where our best players are all over 30 or hurt
A kicker who misses crucial kicks every week
A DC pretending to be a HC
An offensive assistant pretending to be a OC
A GM with no clear vision for the franchise in terms of how to build a roster and compete long term

Of course this means to them we are just one off-season of overpaying a few tier 3 FAs and a couple draft trades away from being able to really go for 9-8 next year and take division...fingers crossed no one else actually gets better

Go to the games, but boo the entire time. The Jacksonville game was lit with how much booing the stadium was doing.

Nope

and corporate sponsors, which I suspect make up a large portion of the local revenue. As posted in another response

Who wants to buy this carp besides the 3 R’s?

By the way the AlamoDome needs about 600 million in renovations and the Spurs are threatening to move to Austin if they don’t get a new arena.

It's only overblown until it happens. If Bmore can have a team sneak out in the middle of the night I don't see Teedy stopping it do you?
Hell the Mayor of New Orleans would probably be making bank on the move. Why do you trust the 32 billionaires club that is the NFL is what I want to know.

Are you saying Gayle is a heavy drinker too? I mean I would not doubt it.

They stopped Benson before- granted that was a different commissioner. And New Orleans has a lot more value to the league than it did before. The Baltimore situation was complicated and different since it was the same owner trying to leave. Look they may move the team but its a risk Im willing to take rather than watch mediocre to bad football under Gayle’s ownership and her peons dictating everything. Im assuming you rather have a shite team with a shite owner as long team stays in nola? I don’t disagree with you but I rather have a more competitive team personally.
