sons do you like our new court?

son the state had nothing to do with financing this. so what are you trying to say?

Perhaps the local paper will say it more clearly:

The Saints and Hornets also compete for government subsidies. Thanks to an unprecedented deal struck in 2001, the Saints receive annual guaranteed inducements from the state, ranging from $20 million this fiscal year to as much as $23.5 million from 2009 to 2010. In the Hornets' recently amended lease, the club can count on as much as $7.5 million in annual state subsidies.

I suppose the Louisiana state government could get props for being so brazenly open about cutting checks to sports teams.

on tax payers money going to that.

No Dad...we don't like it. We're tellin Mom.

It gets more interesting. As of April, Louisiana was actually $6 million short of what they owe the Saints and Hornets, and next year they are projected to be $19 million in the hole. If they aren't paid in full, either team is free to relocate. I'll see if there have been any updates.

Does it come with some sort of sound system to make it's own booing sound?

It seems like that's all the crowd in NOLA did last year.
