this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; How far does this win go, in getting a new stadium built? I haven't heard anything about this in a while, so I was just curious....

Re: New Stadium?
I was thinking the same thing. If ever there was a time, to discuss a new stadium, that time is now. I didn't know that a new lease was signed. Especially for that long! With all this team has done for LA, and N.O., I think they more than deserve it. Benson should just build it on his own. Although if he does, ticket prices will go through the roof. Which who knows, they might do that already.

Re: New Stadium?
No place to put a new stadium that makes sense and if they build a new one get ready to pay a PSL.

Re: New Stadium?
Upgrades were made post-Katrina to bring the Dome into the millennium.
What' so wrong with "one of the toughest places to play in the NFL"? Nothing. Its in a great location. It's loud. It has seats, food, drinks, bathrooms, etc... I don't see the need. |
