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.
