Sure, why not. It'd be a win/win for the state and the city of Shreveport.

Hey guys, just stopping by with my yearly comment. If you remember me and you're still here commenting, thanks for keeping this site going. I don't check in nearly as often as I'd like, but I'm glad B&G is still going.

At first I thought Atlanta was a good idea since we've owned the place for so long and a dome is appealing, but we'd probably get the away team treatment by the Falcon fans so that's out. So where could we play in a dome and likely get treated better than the Packers? Detroit or Minnesota.

Detroit hosts SF, but Minnesota is at Cincinnati. Surely there's no love for the Packers there and they'd still have to travel as if its an away game...just with a shorter flight. I also read that the location has to be an NFL stadium due to replay rules and requirements so it ticks that box. The only downer is my perception that we've had some pretty bad games there over the years and I'm left with a few mental scars (thanks, Marcus).

Cheers and best of luck to all of you living in the gulf south. I hope all of you and your families escaped Ida with minimal loss.

Re: Saints and Ida News

I hope the game gets played somewhere in Louisiana. There are many facilities West of the storm track that can host the game. Two that come to mind are Cajun Field in Lafayette or Independence in Shreveport, both would be fine for a game or two.

Re: Saints and Ida News

Why not Tiger Stadium?

Re: Saints and Ida News

Just wanted to confirm that the games cannot be played in Louisiana unless it is the Superdome.

Re: Saints and Ida News

The rumor is we’ll be playing week one in Jacksonville.

Re: Saints and Ida News

The NFL is a billion dollar industry. Monsters.

Better believe they (NFL) want the Saints venue in a NFL stadium ... options include Tampa, Jacksonville or even Chicago. All areas with a strong Green Bay fan base.

If not for a scheduled concert in Dallas, this game would be played here at Jerry's world.
