A portion could be donated to charity. If done right it could generate more than the revenue from a game and the positive publicity would be off the chart.

not a bad idea beast. i could be into that. i don't live around nola and i understand that a few players visit different places all over town on weeknights to meet and greet fans. i would be 1 there if i lived close. my dad went out his way back in the day to make sure my bros and i had some kind of connection to the saints players. it is a big deal as a fan.

I don't live in La. I'm about to move to PA lol! Would I go to an event for the Eagles? Yes. There is no way to possibly gets the Saints out of me other than cremation but sure, I'd pay to go check out the Eagles organization and drink a few beers in my Saints getup.

What really bother me though about this haggling is it isn't haggling. It's just both sides right now saying what they want. I really thought their would be more brainstorming for solutions. It's downright shameful because at the end of the day, the fans are what hold up the NFL anyway you look at it.
