New Stadium Resolution.....

I'll be going to Reliant this year for the first time for Saints/Texans. I have seen it numerous times since my sister lived in Houston about a mile or so from it, but have never attended a game there. I am looking forward to it.

You'll love it and I will be there as well! It's 2 1/2 hours away from me, but with my job, Houston is as good as I can get when it comes to pros in person.

Until Dallas opens that new stadium in Arlington. I can't wait for the Saints to play them again, so I can go check out that monster.

was pushing for a new stadium to attract the Saints and a majority of "your growing cities" citizens said they would NOT be in favor of public money funding this proposed new stadium. Sounds to me like the citizens of the great city of San Anton aren't that interested in bringing a team there. Also, if you bought a new stadium just 5 years ago, then why 9th in the league in attendance? Winning team, fairly new stadium, growing city? Doesnt' add up. Every arguement you bring up the facts don't support.

*sigh* The people in the city wouldn't approve public funds for a new stadium for the SAINTS cause the people in the city didn't want to get THE SAINTS this way. You are criticizing an entire city for the actions of one. Again, you must be fully on board with Nagin's Chocolate City comments and other ignorant remarks, I mean, since one person can rep an entire city. That's silly. Also, as I explained before, and sadly have to explain again, the Spurs were 9th in attendance out of 30 teams just on arena size They got beat out in average attendance and total attendance because other arenas are larger. That's it. Not cause of indifference. Seriously, why are you bothering? But we get to why later. I'll save it for last.

You say, "WE ARE A GROWING CITY AND CAN SUPPORT AN NFL TEAM"
Fact: You had the Saints for a number of games and there were PLENTY of empty seats

The Saints were never San Antonio's team, were losing, and for the fifth time, the PEOPLE of San Antonio DID NOT WANT the Saints to come in this manner. Seems simple.

You then say, "WELL, THE SAINTS WERE MIRED IN ONE OF THEIR WORST SEASONS IN THEIR HISTORY"
Fact: You conteract this statement by bringing up the fact that the Hornets benefited from a "new fan base in Ok" even though the Horntes haven't made the playoffs in the last two seasons in Oklahoma City.

Well, to let you know as someone else said, there's no other game in town in OK City. And they put themselves on the map with their support. When the Hornets went to New Orleans, "a new fan base," their attendance sucked. Also, the games in San Antonio sold out, but there were "empty seats" cause people chose not to go see the 2-12 Saints vs the 2-12 Lions on Christmas Eve. Way to mislead. I do have to correct my previous statement on this though caus I did use OK City as an example of a new fan base turning out and I used new Orleans as an example of a crappy team in the Hornets not getting support with a new fan base. Two separate examples.

San Antonio tried to get in bed with a whore in Benson and Tagliabue and the NFL wouldn't allow it. It takes two to tango and both are responsible for kicking the good Saints fans in the face where they were at the lowest point possible. I'd rather not even get into this anymore. If you had family that had to relocate because of Katrina then you should understand how hard many of us take this subject. Many of us having nothing but contempt for not only Benson, but San Antonio as well after what happened. Not matter what kind of Spurs spin or "growing city" spin you put on it, many of us still have very, very ill feelings towards San Antonio. You love it there, great. You can have it. San Antonio doesn't DESERVE an NFL team and I hope they never get one for what the did to us.

This is really what it comes down to. I said in the last post you had a bias, and here it is. Sadly, you can't separate the actionsof one from the wants of many. SAN ANTONIO didn't try to steal the Saints, Benson tried to run with them and had Hardburglar as an accomplice. The PEOPLE OF SAN ANTONIO did not want a team this way. Your hatred for the people in San Antonio is misguided and should be directed at the people most involved with the attempt to take the team, and mainly Tom Benson. He WENT TO the mayors of San An and surrounding cities and whored the team. But you'd rather blame people who had nothing to do with it. That's ignorant. Wait, i'll apply the same logic. You live in New Orleans right? Then I blame you for all of Nagin's stupid comments, and for the fact the city is still in shambles 2 years after Katrina. I don't care if you do not share his feelings on "chocolate city" and I don't care if you WANT things to get back to normal. Yoru mayor did and said some stupid things, so I blame it all on you, no matter that federal and state aid didn't help either when it's come down to time to heal. Doesn't matter one bit. It's your fault and I hate you for New Orleans not being back to normal by now. Fair right?
