If this is true, I can almost guarantee you'll see the phrase "Los Angeles Saints" next season. Benson and the governor have been arguing about funding for a new stadium for a long time, and now with this disaster, I can see them being even stingier with funding.

Quite weird indeed--I never would have imagined it.

I don't see NO losing the Saints. I wouldn't be surprised if the government did something about it if the people made a stink about losing their team. It's gonna get complicated, that's for sure

so were they looking into a new stadium before this? or is it all because of how badly damaged it is from the storm?

Damn, they moved quick on that.

Hate to break your hearts, guys from Los Angeles......I think your best bet is that if the team moves, it will be to San Antonio.

If I was a Louisianan, I'd make a huge stink if the gov't paid any more money in Tom Benson's pocket when there's MUCH more important things to spend on right now.

Even without this news (and I still can't find a link), I figured the Saints would be even more prime for relocation because NO's economy is going to go in the shitter and make running a team there less profitable.

I truly don't think there will ever be 3 NFL teams in Texas

This doesn't surprise me. The place was old and renovating it would cost much more money than the city can afford to spend.

Tags has been salivating to get a team in LA for quite some time. This would be the right chance.

I could see San Antonio, but the Alamodome doesn't have all the fancy luxury boxes that Benson was striving for earlier in New Orleans--might be the same problem.

And that should answer Jason's question. ;)

SA is the temporary plan

Popular opinion. There just aren't enough fans to go around as it is, and when you add to it that Austin people won't follow a SA team despite it's proximity, there really is no point. SA is big, but it's not big enough...

I will admit that the AlamoDome is the perfect place for a team to play though... the Cowboys used to hold practice in there and it's nice... if the aints do end up moving to Texas, that'll be why.

I'd like to see them end up in LA, I guess. I can't believe that city doesn't have an NFL team...

I think what's even funnier is that they went from two teams to no teams in a matter of months.
