New Orleans owns Super Bowl, but NFL doesn't care

exile · 05-23-2016, 09:26 AM

The NFL is changing fast. I wouldn't be surprised if we soon have a "Saints are leaving New Orleans" reality in the next decade or so. Just reality. Putting International cities in the mix will hurt a small city like New Orleans. And as the NFL adds large cities like London, competition for the Super Bowl will increase.

Maybe this is a pessimistic attitude towards it but I don't see much positive coming from a 41 year old stadium in the NFL. And there are not enough tax payers in New Orleans to support a new stadium. Sad but probably true.

Your statement is plausible but not possible. Renovations on the Superdome have risen to over 400 million over the last 10 years and as the Superdome is on the National Register of Historic places will remain an Icon for the World to see. While cities choose to build bright new stadiums the Great People of Louisiana have honored their past as their future and the SUPERDOME will remain the brightest light of them all. There is no place like New Orleans in the World. New Orleans is more of a travel destination than Chicago or Boston or even Miami and always will be. New Orleans is and will always remain one of the greatest cities in history and the future.

So is the Astrodome. Even better it was one of the World Wonders.

But don't let my pessimistic attitude change your mind. I admire your fortitude.

The Astrodome would've fit inside the Superdome. Too bad Houston saw fit to destroy a piece of history and the first domed stadium.

I can deal with pessimistic. We've been talking about the Saints leaving for, oh wait, FREAKING EVER and we will have at least at couple of years advance notice if it did happen. I don't see why worrying about it even if it was a remote possibility is sensible at all!
