The Hurricane

There needs to be a real look at reimagining the existing buildings on the current property and possibly working within the confines of such. It would take some effort to move the USPS hub from downtown though.

There needs to be a true, dedicated sports and entertainment district. “Club 44” and Champions Square need to be scrapped and redeveloped. Think of Texas Live.

Build a new arena on the Champions garage space, lots and streets right next to SKC. Have it connected across the Macys tunnel to whatever new entertainment area built. If you tear down USPS buildings, you could have multiple front facing entrances from Dome side and Loyola Ave.

Spend money to clean up the Amtrak/bus station as well. Possibly down the road tie in a street car line that runs right up to the building.

Wouldn't go that far. Fertitta is a bad owner. Sadly, probably better than Gayle.

Fertitta is still light years better than Gayle. I’d rather Pels have someone who is willing to try and remedy the problems themself vs depending on people whose sole goal is to line their own pockets.

The difference is that Houston has an active owner. The Pels do not.

Lauscha is going to do his best so that the cabal has to kick in the least amount of money towards a renovation.

They’ll laud a plan that puts about $250m into a building that needs to be torn down.

SKC was a $250m building built on a $100m budget because Mike Foster did not care for the area unless it was coming to the boat show.

Why is Darvin Ham considers a bad coach? Genuinely curious, I don't know anything about him or his coaching. Not advocating for him

---

The problem is that Pels will name him as head coach in two months without doing any formal coaching search. There are far better options out there, the problem is that they will want some autonomy.

The NFL and NBA need to step in and force a sale, it won’t happen though.

The inmates have been running the asylum for 20 years.

Every single exec has been eating off the corpse of Tom Benson since 2005. They know Gayle can’t run a business and are just padding their wallets until the inevitable sale. That’s the reason why she won’t put up the money on big time renovations. They’ll let her be a narcissist and put her name on any school that wants her money because she’s never accomplished anything of success on her own.

Maybe we can get some car dealership staff to help out with ticket sales too?

---

They already have that in house. It’s laughable the things they do to inflate the attendance. They’ve also quietly started budget cuts with some staff.

It will interesting if someone wants to just buy the Pels and keep them here. Because of the current structure on Airline Drive, you’d essentially have to build from the ground up.

The Saints and Pels share almost 70% of the same staff sans football/basketball ops. New facilities would have to be built since they share a campus.

You’re right. How I forgot the additional 1.14% capacity increased.
