Report was to possibly practice next week. People over at Saintsreport.com have already started their bashing of San Antonio. Truly paranoid.
Yea, whatever!

Most of those people on that site probably don't even live in New Orleans.
You're probably right.Most of those people on that site probably don't even live in New Orleans.
They are ing and the Saints are the ones that called the city not vice/versaI admit, I attended one Saints game @ the dome.
Once again, the Saints come crawling to SA for help, and we'll end up being the evil "vultures" as far as Saints fans are concerned.
Yep! Why can't they go play in Iowa or something?
its not like the interior of the superdome will be that messed up if it goes down. Nagin already said that won't be a shelter
Whew! They aren't coming here after all.
Nope. Not very surprising, either. Would have been a bad PR move to come back here after the fiasco a few years ago.
Yeah for people who dont know they will be going to Indy and practicing at new stadium for the week. Was reported last night during the game against Miami.
The Saints would have been much better off had they relocated to SA.
I agree. It was one dumb, stupid move for Benson and Tagliabue to collude to bring the Saints back to New Orleans after the hospitality San Antonio showed the team. But, imo the Saints will vacate that flood zone one day soon anyway.
It would have been dumb and stupid to leave town after all the stuff went down and would have been really bad PR
The thing is, the sports teams are a catharsis for their cities. The Saints and Hornets going back helped New Orleans heal.
Of course, Gustav's looking like it may finish that city off for good.
Made lots of $$$ too.
There was a lot of rumors about them comingt to LA, but i wouldn't want them.
Raiders or bust for me. any other team that comes here.
Nah they're headed to Indy!
They can send their 'fugees there too.
Oh good grief. Besides, plenty of people came here after Katrina.
Anyway, I can't figure out how they chose Indy to practice. It seems a little out of the way.
Is it possible to funnel them to oklahoma somehow. The logistics here arent that good

Not really. The Saints are for the whole Gulf Coast really while in NO. If they were in SA, the market size would have shrunk.
Uh, by that logic and wide area, our market, with games on Sundays most of the time, could be San Antonio/Austin.
That being said, the NFL can kiss my ass. It's quite obvious they don't want a team in this market, so I'll be damned if I'll s for game tickets to temporarily support some out of town owner, down on his luck. I went to two games last time, but I wouldn't even attend any this time. If the Super dome gets the roof ripped off again and gets trashed, Benson had better not be thinking of a warm welcome in SA. Between the trashed national economy and many San Antonians feeling slightly burned from last time, I think he'd have a hard time getting more than 40,000 for games.
Don't be so bitter Chuck. The reason why the NFL has been kept out of San Antonio for so long was because there was a commissioner who thought very little of the city. Paul Tagliabue was notorious for not wanting a team in San Antonio. He even went so far as to personally block Tom Benson's move of the Saints here in 2005. Everything about that move made sense financially and still does. But it was killed by Tagliabue. Now, there is a commissioner who does not have the same hatred for San Antonio. Roger Goodell can and will allow the NFL to come to San Antonio simply because he believes, correctly, that the area can support a team. Because of this San Antonio will soon get either an expansion team or a team from another city. It's inevitable.
