this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I don't see where King's remarks were out of line. His prediction, unfortunately, is a real possibility. Regardless of how upbeat things may seem at the moment, I don't trust Benson. 8)...

RE: Analyst doubts Saints will stay in N.O.
We are going to see the seats filled to the brim this year. Duece, Brees, Horn and Bush will fill the seats this year.If the team comes even remotely close to the playoffs they will be filled even more next year. I really don't see "butts in the seats" being an issue.

Doesn't sound like a slam to me just objective observation. I do think it should be all time tickets sales with the new high powered offense. The suite though are a serious issue. I don't know a thing about them. It seems there should be some means of creative marketing to promote them though. Per game rentals to groups (such as message boards) would seem workable. What about some lottery/raffle type sales?
As terrible as the team was and as putrid as Benson was last year Louisiana people were up in arms about his rumblings of moving. Ya know how nuts people are here for football. If the team actually shows some signs of life this season then Benson and the legislators will have a constant earful to contend with if only considering such. |

That is from March, I have seen a greater number in a much more recent article but i can't seem to find it at the moment.

Ticket sales will go through the roof of the Dome, I'm not at all worried about Benson not selling tickets now with a great team brewing..

I sure hope we don't leave NO. I think us signing Reggie will definately help our chances of staying in NO. Reggie is already selling tickets (I'm laughing at all the posters, and there are a lot of you, that said one player can't sell tickets, winning does. Winning definately does, but so does Reggie Bush) and the dome should be insane this year. I think by us landing Bush, the NFL believes that the Saints can be a major contributor in rebuilding the city. We will be a team people want to see and the NFL always prides itself on helping build communties, lets see if they are true to their word, I think in this case they will be. The NFL and a lot of owners will come off looking real bad if they took the Saints out of NO after we got Reggie Bush.
