Some important information concerning the Saints long term lease

Blanco in the begining of her term had a limited interest in the Saints. Keep in mind that Benson and team executive contributed to Jindal in his gubernatorial run four years ago, and Kathleen did demonstrate that she has a long memory. However, let's wait and see what happens before we uncork the champagne. A new stadium in the near future will be a difficult sell politically, and right now I do not see Jindal expending his political capital on a new stadium project after the state has spent millions--and is spending millions more--renovating the Superdome, and the Superdome has just hosted successfully college football's prime event.

I'd have to agree w/ RJ on this one....I am most certainly a Saints fan, but given the fact that the Superdome is being renovated as we speak..I can see where people would feel like a new stadium would be a misuse of state funds (tax dollars) given the other issues that need to be vigorously attacked first.....like coastal restoration maybe
