Here is an excerpt from the Wikipeadia entry on Tom Benson

"Tom Benson is the owner of the New Orleans Saints NFL team. He is also the owner of automobile dealerships in the Greater New Orleans and San Antonio areas. He purchased the Saints in 1985 after he learned that the team was on the verge of being sold to parties interested in moving the team from New Orleans, Louisiana to Jacksonville, Florida. As a successful businessman, he recognized the economic implications of such a move not only for the city of New Orleans, but for the entire region. Ownership of the team was officially transferred to him on May 31, 1985."
