progress

I had heard of proposed lakefront and riverfront locations. So while its not of major concern, wetlands destruction may or may not become an issue.

Anyway, I was wondering about this when questioning the age of the Superdome. While I am not old enough to have ever experienced Tulane Stadium in its prime, I have heard many people talk about the stadium and its 80,000 + capacity. Now maybe its just nostalgia, but I have never heard anyone say anything negative about the place. I realize that 1975 was a completly different economic time in our history, but unless I am wrong, that year Tulane Stadium hosted a Superbowl. At the time the stadium was 49 years old (completed in 1926 and underwent many rennovations to get up to that 80,000+ seating cap). I guess it just made me think exactly what type of facility do we really need to enjoy a football game.

And one more thing that I haven't heard discussed yet. Benson's not only looking out for his economic future, he is trying to put his granddaughter in the best position he can possibly when she takes over the team. And I'd do the same for my family as well (within reason of course).
