    Reports of Benson moving team to San Antonio. I think Benson is serious this time.

    The team isn't making any money in New Orleans. Not enough fan or financial support... Plus, their stadium isn't what it once was and they're not going to ever be able to afford to build another one or renovate the existing one.

    A move to San Antonio might actually make them money. I'd certainly rather try there than go get screwed over in Los Angeles.

    I'd heard Albuquerque was another option. Anywhere but LA.

    They could move to SLC. [​IMG] After all, It is the HQ for the LDS (Mormon) church.

    They wouldn't have to change their nickname as <u> the S in LDS stands for Saints </u> =D

    I say let them go. They aren't performing and Benson wants a new stadium. All that would do is put a crappy team in the space for the rest of our convention center. Honestly I wouldn't mind a bigger convention center haha.

    The city your team plays in is no longer relevant unless you go to the games in person(and most people dont)....with inexspensive satellite packages, you can follow your team from anywhere and never miss a game....so i can see how someone wouldnt be upset that thier team was leaving....if the Dolphins left Miami, it wouldnt effect me that much, as long as they were the Dolphins when they got to wherever they were going....its worth it if they can compete for a title better....

    I know I would be very upset if the Vikings left Minnesota, and I dont go to many games. Then again, I am not normal :cheesey:

    I've always said that if I ever leave Wisconsin, I'm going to move to a city with an NFL team (that's not the Vikings) where you can actually GET tickets to see a game. I think I'm going to move to Phoenix...

    A couple of years ago, my cousin (who lives in Phoenix) left his game tickets on the dash of his car overnight. He didn't realize what he had done until the morning. Sure enough, when he went out to the car, his side window was broken and someone had left 2 more tickets on the dash. [​IMG]

    Seriously, I imagine Cards tickets will get a little more in demand in the next couple years. Unless they are completely cursed, they should be more competitive. At least you wouldn't be freezing your butt off watching another loss (no shot intended towards GB).

    You need to get in good with someone that works with the orange trucks. They usually have lots of tickets.

    They're not going anywhere for another 15 years. If you want the real scope on all of this go to www.saintsreport.com
