2) the Saints are in top 5 in selling merchandize in the NFL
3) Saints have a lease with the Superdome through 2025

New Orleans is hosting a Superbowl next year, but that can't be said for Jacksonville.

The councilman/mayor have NO CLUE what is going on down here basing their comments on the economy and status of the City of New Orleans in the late 90's and pre-Katrina. Luckily, people know the City better after Katrina.

This issue is seriously not on the radar for me.

Exactly!!!!

What you said about the council folks being clueless as to what's going on down here pretty much sums it all up.
