If you were a businessman and an NFL owner you'd want the same advantages the rest get.

As far as loyalty?
Season ticket holder (2 tickets) for 12 years now. Thanks.

So the Saints aren't in san antonio or los angeles...they're here and they aren't playing well...

Let's not get distracted by things that never happened.

I am not questioning anyone's "loyalty"... The fact that we are here means a lot. What i am saying is we should take something into account and context. Its not about loyalty... It is about support.

Do we really want to be like fans in NY or Atlanta that roast their team? The frustration is justified, I am just asking if we are handling it in the most proactive way?

Yep, way too many fans here are as bad or worse than Falcon fans. What a bunch of whiney little twits.

They don't have to split the parking and advertising and concessions income with the owner of the stadium (the state). [COLOR="red"]The state rents office space from Benson in Benson Tower

Definite plus that Hartley made the FG from 53 and it looked great. Probably would have been good from 63, great sign.
