I am far from knowledgeable on this issue, but I tend to think the optics would be truly bad for the NFL or anyone involved with pulling the Saints out of NOLA. It's a prime football site with the Sugar Bowl and Super Bowl and now because of post-Katrina the team has indelible ties to the city that cannot be denied. I'd think all of these factors would make it a non-starter, money be damned.

Good points, but as it stands, our team’s culture is that of the bottom of the pack, a complete mess. The city will no doubt get great press during a Super Bowl that we AINT even getting a whiff of, but the team is in trouble.
