That doesn't say much for moving a team out there.

JOE - YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT! We do however have lots of sports teams here but an NFL team is a different animal. Larger beast that it is compared to the teams that are here.

I tried to shed some light on this issure in the past couple of years. Living out here I can tell you we aren't so hard press for a team and really can care less. Reason - Oakland and San Diego and USC not so much the 49ers though. It would be really hard press to find a fan base here with everyone already with the alliances with Oak and SD. I don't think a team would be successful at all especially if they come in losing either.

To be successful, I think you would need an expansion team. A team with history here will only fail like the others (fail - bad choice or words). Its just cheaper to be in any other area than here business wise, you're going to get more savings being anywheres else! You have to realize that to live in LA its EXPENSIVE! To have a business here is EXPENSIVE. Benson isn't stupid when it comes to business you are not going to make more money here with the overhead you are going to have out here, its cheaper in Lousiana than in LA PERIOD. You'll spend more money on staff and operations than you would anywheres else inturn you'll make more money being else where.

Its not good business to move a team here. They come here and find that out real fast and GONE the next day. We have lots of sports teams don't get me wrong. Dodgers, Angels, Lakers, Clippers, KINGS Galaxy, Ducks just to name a few. Notice that they are small teams and one can argue that they don't cost as much to operate than an NFL franchise.

Trust me the Saints are safe in La. not LA. When you hear LA mention in negociations its only a business tactic nothing more. Now if another smaller city was mentioned then I'd worry.
