LSED Dragging Feet in Stadium Renovation Process

WW_Who_Dat · 06-01-2024, 08:00 AM

I counted 20 dates booked on the Domes schedule for the REMAINING 2024 CALENDAR YEAR, 11 not associated with the Saints. So after the Saints pay their annual lease payment, pay for the Dome upgrades I’m sure the City/State will share all the revenue generated with the Saints … Yeah that’s the ticket.

Yup. Not to mention, I've seen where a single Super Bowl can bring in anywhere between $300 million and $1.3 billion in local revenue for the host city and surrounding areas. Given the fact that Super Bowls can only be held at NFL host cities, New Orleans and the State of Louisiana would be standing to lose that amount once every six or seven years on average if they were to ever lose the Saints. Let's not forget just regular game revenue year to year.

The Superdome is a cash cow for the city and state and they know it.

Saints are 63-36 under Gayle Benson’s tenure Map. How is that a losing team?

Not sure Saints history reflects this opinion;

Since 2002 when Mickey Loomis became Saints GM
Wins Losses Pct
203 152 .571%

Since 2006 …
Wins Losses Pct
175 116 .601%

6 Losing Seasons during the past 18 seasons.
5 under SP
1 under DA

38 seasons since 1967 thru 2005
Wins Losses Pct
225 322 .411%

Record prior to 2006 Season
27 Losing Seasons
6 8-8 Seasons
6 Winning Seasons

Just saying

Funny how all Sport teams owners would be very much opposed to any type of handouts until it adds to their own wealth or value of their sports teams.

The city of Indianapolis and people who live in surrounding counties (I live in one of those) are still paying a for Lucas Oil Stadium, which has been in operation for the last 13 years.

The massive stadium cost roughly $720 million to build, which is around $850 million in 2019 dollars, and in order to pay for it the city had to impose a few taxes, which includes a one-percent tax on several of the donut counties that surround Marion County. Within Marion County, a food and beverage tax along with cigarette and extra income taxes go toward paying for the stadium. The building will be 30-years-old by the time it’s supposed to be paid off in 2037.

This is so Robert Irsay can pay 2.5 million dollars for one of Ringo's drum kits!

As of May 2024 Saints Win/Loss record

412 Wins
468 Losses

...... below 500; me thinks that is indicative of a losing team, no?
