San Antonio Mayor Phil Hardberger said Thursday if New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson wants a new stadium as part of a plan to relocate the NFL team to the Alamo City, he can forget it and if that kills a future deal with the Saints, so be it.
Hardberger told the Express-News, "There have been general conversations along the lines that it would be nice to have" a new stadium, Hardberger said. "Let's say there have been some general hints that our standing would be improved if we said, We will build you a new, state-of-the-art stadium." Hardberger added that building a new facility with taxpayers money is not a good idea but there could be other ways to finance a new football stadium. "It could be, of course, that the state could get involved with that or it could be developers on their own right get involved with that," Hardberger said. "There are other ways stadiums get built. But as far as San Antonio being a player in the building of a new stadium, I wouldn't want to do that."
