Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta is interested in buying the Saints

Tillman has been flirting with the NHL about bringing a hockey team to Houston. I think it's a lot of bluster on his part though. With the Rockets he has full control of the Toyota Center. Maybe he's looking at the Saints/Superdome as a target. He's worth about 11 billion, owns the Landry's chain of restaurants and all of the brands that come with that. It's massive. It includes Landrys, Salt Grass Steakhouse, Del Friscos, Mastros, Mortons, Golden Nugget Casinos, Joe's Crab Shack, McCormick and Schmick, numerous hotels and much more. Locking up an NFL team and building is worth so much more to him than the team alone. He's blocked out of (the NFL) Houston/NRG Stadium, so geographically and strategically, this could make sense for him.
