"Mr. Benson already has committed beyond 2006. He's made it clear this is not just for one season. It's a multiyear effort,"
If true this is very good news for the ppl. of N.O, the ppl of Louisiana and all of the fans, hopefully this is a sign of good things to in the future to come. |
Mr Benson i think your out of the fox hole if you pull this off.

Don't let up guys on the e-mails, letters and phone calls to everyone who will listen. I send to the e-mail group at least once a week. Now is the time to kick it into gear and make sure that we get something in writing even before the 2006 season starts.

In your opinions, (you locals anyway) just how feasible is it to believe the Superdome can be brought back up to snuff prior to the season starting.
Wouldn't it be more practical to just build another stadium for football only as so many other teams in the league have done? |

Excellent PR move. What better way to market the team to the rest of the state/region, and, yet keep the team in New Orleans, than to hold the preseason games in other cities. The two "home" preseason games could be rotated each year between some of the major cities in the state and region. This would be taking the traditional "Black and Gold" games to the next level. Think about it, New Orleans wouldn't be losing out on much because they are just preseason games, but the fans and cities in other areas would have a great deal to gain by attracting more fans and by helping them get to know the team on a more personal level. By doing this you also increase the chances that the fans will eventually travel to NO to watch regular season games. Now, that's marketing the team. |

I live in Pensacola, FL. Our city hall was heavily damagedby Ivan in Sept 04. The repair/reconstruction of it Might be done by April of 06.'' If there's not a lot structural damage to the dome, I don't see why it couldn't be done by September. |

There isn't any structural damage. Mostly the interior needs to be completely re worked, broken glass etc. The thing is made of metal and concrete, you'd need a nuke to shake it badly. I think this is some big big news. For the moment, the Saints are back in N.O. big time. |
