re: Would you support Tillman Fertitta buying the Saints?

That location of new stadium in Hammond Indiana is only 25 miles from the location of Soldier field in Chicago. It is not the same situation.

Where are they going to build a new stadium? Metairie? The Northshore? Gulf Coast Mississippi?

New Saints Stadium and casino resort built in the beach. Hell let’s go all out and build it where fans can drive up in their boats.


ETA: The above is sarcasm. The only way to replace the Superdome is have the Saints play at Yulman or Tiger Stadium while the Superdome is torn down and replaced. With that being said I don’t see any reason to replace the Superdome in the near future.

Tons of conflicts of interest that are against nfl policy:

Yes, owning Caesars Entertainment—which Tilman Fertitta's Fertitta Entertainment officially agreed to acquire for roughly $17.6 billion—presents a major conflict of interest under NFL rules.The NFL enforces very strict anti-gambling and sports betting regulations for its majority owners to protect the integrity of the game. If Fertitta pursues buying the New Orleans Saints, his casino operations create three primary conflicts:1. Sportsbooks and Sports BettingThe Conflict: Caesars operates one of the largest sports betting platforms and retail sportsbooks in North America.The NFL Rule: NFL owners are strictly prohibited from operating sportsbooks that take bets on NFL games. Because Caesars takes billions in NFL wagers, Fertitta cannot hold a majority stake in both an NFL team and Caesars Sportsbook simultaneously.2. The Naming Rights ProblemThe Conflict: In 2021, Caesars purchased the 20-year naming rights to the Saints' home stadium, the Caesars Superdome.The NFL Rule: An NFL owner cannot own a company that has a massive commercial sponsorship and naming rights deal with their own stadium. This would essentially mean Fertitta would be paying sponsorship revenue to himself, creating severe financial and cross-promotional conflicts of interest.3. Local Casino PresenceThe Conflict: Caesars is the dominant casino operator in the state of Louisiana, notably running Harrah's New Orleans (which is being rebranded into Caesars New Orleans) right in the Saints' backyard.The NFL Rule: While the NFL now allows team owners to have passive or heavily capped investments in hospitality and casino companies, owning the absolute largest local gambling hub in the team's home market invites heavy regulatory scrutiny regarding local influence and market monopolies.What Fertitta Would Have to DoTo clear NFL vetting, Fertitta would likely have to structure a deal to completely spin off, divest, or sell the sports betting arm of Caesars, or hold a completely passive, non-voting equity share with zero operational control. He already has experience with this restriction: he had to sell his minority share of the Houston Texans in 2008 because his Golden Nugget casinos offered sports betting at the time.Would you like to explore how other pro sports leagues (like the NBA, where Fertitta owns the Houston Rockets) handle his sports betting ties, or look closer at the NFL's specific vetting process for new owners? Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

Don't Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft own sports betting platforms? Things may be different than they were in 2008.

Any contract of sale can have rules. In this case the 32 star chamber members can dictate some rules of sale. The new owner is not buying a Kia but membership into said club.

How bout you move instead

They could put it on that huge cow pasture down in da Parish! Obviously, it'd be the Rocky n Carlos Stadium played on Tag's field. It would build up Violet into a tourist destination

I support anyone owning the Saints that would can Loomis’s arse
