Saints and State close to lease extension/major renovation

I am just glad it is a mix of state, Saints and development commission money -- thos days when state governments (especially in a dirt-poor state like La.) should get shaken down for the whole stadium tab are and should be long gone.

On the other hand, the Dome is also an iconic landmark and remains very much a multi-use facility in a city particularly dependent on tourism, so you can also rationally justify the investment of some state funds to maintain it, like a port or a cargo terminal or an airport or some other piece of infrastructure specifically relevant to a given local economy.

Just a little odd to see a common-sense, consensus plan come out of Louisiana, that's all.... :hihi:
