The state of Louisiana presented a new proposal to the Saints in an effort to keep the team in New Orleans.
In the plan presented to the Saints, the state made a commitment to build a new stadium, to be completed between 2009 and 2011, if the Saints continue to insist they need one.
The Saints say they cannot compete with NFL competitors in bigger and richer markets without state help, a conclusion the state's consultants have confirmed.
Owner Tom Benson's vision for a new football stadium inspired the architects at HOK to design a building that is compatible with its surroundings in New Orleans. Each plan for a new facility features an oval shape that provides ideal sightlines for the fans, while also adding elements
that recall a classic football setting. A retractable roof brings the joys of outdoor football back to the region while also protecting the fans from harsh weather.
Compared to the Superdome, fan accommodations will be greatly improved. It will be easier to get to your seats, to concession stands and out of the stadium. The seats will be more comfortable and closer to the action on the field. A state-of-the-art entertainment system will add to the experience with videos and an enhanced scoreboard system. Benson's plans also bring tailgating back to the fans, something that has been sorely missed over the last 25 years.
