Saintly Succession: Gayle Benson’s plan to give back to the community, keep Saints in New Orleans

SmashMouth · 09-30-2021, 09:22 AM

So which billionaire will step up to pony up the billions it will take? The interview with Gayle gives rise to questions on renewing the lease which expires in 2025. So long as there is a legally binding document keeping the team here, we should be good to go. There is no need to be concerned that the Saints will one day move.

I was wondering though, why not give the team to the fans of New Orleans Saints, a la Green Bay...since she's giving everything away anyway upon her passing? It's all her choice, of course. Maybe there is more good to be done by having a foundation in place upon the sale of the team(s), so long as the foundation is not mismanaged.
