New Stadium Resolution.....

I also agree, that would not be a good idea. To me that would only benefit the Northshore, just so they didn't have to travel into the city. I do not want to come back to the city i love, see the Saints play out in the east.. WTF. I second to put the stadium by the river. Keep it close to down town as possible. That makes the games so special, everything is down town for a reason . NOT IN THE EAST !!!

I love going to the Dome for a game, I think I would hate a change no matter where it's built..

I drive in from the Northshore for every game and -- while it would make the trip a little shorter -- I have absolutely no interest in getting out after the game and walking around NO East in the evening. And tell me: where do I get something to eat in the East ("The home of not one single good restaraunt")?!?

Hey blue devil i am in town for a visit now. There is food out east. Taco wagons! The mexicans can circle the stadium with them. I guess we could call the new stadium the alamo.

First of all, crime would not be a problem, they would protect everyone just like they do at the Dome. To me the move doesn't make any sense because of the local, traffic problems, and the inconvenience that visitors and locals would have to endure. It's not just the Saints games that they have to worry about, there's a whole lot of other events and festivals that call the Dome home, I think it would be a hugh mistake to make that move. I know they want to revitalize the New Orleans East and rightfully so, but a new stadium is not the answer, maybe a better mall, a museum, a business epcot center, a school(High, Junior College, or Technical), anything but a new stadium. I lived in the East when it was thriving, it was a wonderful place to live, manicured lawns, booming businesses, Lake Forest Mall was the best thing happening at the time. It's going to take a lot more than a stadium to bring back the East, it will only make matters worst, I just hope the powers that be understand that.
