I've heard arguments on both side, but personally I am all for them moving out of New Orleans. It will be several years befoer that city is viable and people have beeter things to spend thier money on (like rebuilding homes) than an NFL football game. I hate the argument that it isnt fair to desert the city when it's down. If anything, that's when you need to. It's not fair to the team to suffer just to try and renew a city.

 

THis should support a move... "(San Antonio) ranks 37th as a TV market, which is among the city's less appealing factors to the NFL. Still, city leaders have argued that their TV market still outranks cities with NFL teams, including Buffalo at 49, Jacksonville at 52 and even pre-Katrina New Orleans at 43."

I say, that the only way the Saints should move out of New Orleans is if Benson had to sell them.

 

Very interesting compromise.

 

PS: Anyone see how many people are at the game today in Tiger Stadium in Baton rouge? THere's like 20,000 people MAX!
