I don't think that a new stadium will be the reason as to why the Saints will ever move from New Orleans...It all depends on who takes over the team after Tom Benson, but our stadium situation is a can of worms waiting to be opened.
The wrong owner(s) will want a new billion dollar palace, and there are few options for doing so even if the city/state had the necessary funds.
It's getting unshared revenue. Owners use the New Stadium ploy as reason to produce major unshared revenue, which will allow them to stay profitable in the NFL. Benson already is getting alot of unshared revenue by having the State as a major tenant in the Benson tower.
This is why you don't hear a peep out of Tommy boy. And his heirs should be aware of that. New Stadiums don't always produce the money that they are looking for.
