State of Louisiana and New Orleans Saints commit to 2010
All American Patriots (press release), Sweden - Mar 28, 2007
After working together to insure that the New Orleans Louisiana Saints remain in New Orleans and after enjoying the excitement of the team's very successful 2006 season, Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco and Saints owner Tom Benson today simultaneously announced that the contract for the Saints to play in the Louisiana Superdome has been extended through the 2010 NFL season. During the next four years, both parties will explore all available alternatives to extended the Saints' stay beyond 2010.

"Our commitment to New Orleans has been unwavering," said Owner Tom Benson from the NFL owner's meeting in Arizona . "I didn't want there to be any misunderstanding about the club honoring the contract. During this period, I anticipate both parties exploring all options available to retain this very important relationship beyond 2010."

So the Saints and the city have agree to a short term deal to keep the team in the city for three more seasons while they work towards a longer-term deal.

Well 2007 is projected to be an active Hurricane season for the Gulf...so those three years might come to an end even sooner...

I am happy they are staying. The San Antonio Saints just doesn't have the right sound to it.

It is scary. They could not have had enough time to clean up let alone fix all the problems that caused the levees to break. Another Katrina force hurricane could ruin the city for good.
