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.

Go to work there everyday. There's maybe 2 Non-Vietnamese places to go eat lunch.

I honestly do not think that it will be a bad Idea.

First of all, Main land New Orleans will still do fine without the Saints playing there because it is a tourist town. It is not famous because of the Saints, it is famous because of the french quarter and Mardi Gras. It will still get its share of hotel income from the Saints. People will still stay there even if the Saints play 20 minutes away.

Second of all, It will be a huge economic boost to the rest of the city, the parts that get left in the dust. Do you honestly think that if they put the new stadium in the east that businesses and restuarants won't follow. I guarantee that it will boom if something major is put there.

Lastly, theres plenty of teams that have their stadiums in smaller communities than the team i.e. Dallas Cowboys is not exactly in Dallas. San Francisco will be building their new stadium out side of the city also and that is just to name two.

In my opinion it will be good for the rebuilding process the put the stadium there.

Well look at Chcago. The city got the voters to go alone with the shared profits idea and stuck the Bulls and Soxs out in the worse section of town. What did it do for the area? Nothing! The police incircle the stadium and keep the dumb from wondering off and getting mugged or killed. Sorry it just does not work that way. How many people hang out late at night in the East Now? That is the key question. So if not now it wont happen then. No boost will come from it except if you have a parking lot next to the stadium. They will come for the game and split.
