    New Orleans Saints: When the New Orleans Saints play four games at LSU's Tiger Stadium, the bars in East Baton Rouge Parish will be closed.

    The Metro Council refused Wednesday to lift the Sunday closure rule, citing feedback from residents.

    "Every e-mail and call that I have received on the issue has been against this. My cons uents do not want to become New Orleans. They don't want to progress in that way," Council member Martha Jane Tassin said.

    Another opponent of the measure, Mayor Pro Tem Joe Greco, said he could understand why some Saints fans might want to indulge after watching the Packers defeat the Saints 52-3 on Sunday.

    "I think you've got to be drunk to watch the Saints these days. It would be hard to watch them sober," Greco said.


    Council member Mickey Skyring had proposed suspension of the bar closing ordinance for Saints' game days.
    Pretty harsh qoute from the Baton Rouge mayor. I don't think he even wants to seel any tickets.
