BREAKING: Saints, state agree to drop exit clauses; Saints will stay in New Orleans through 2010
Several media outlets are reporting this morning that the Saints and the state of Louisiana have reached an agreement to drop exit clauses from their current lease agreement so that the team can remain in New Orleans until at least 2010. A news conference will be held today at 10 a.m.
As it should be and usually is, the most descriptive account comes from the Times-Picayune. Jeff Duncan writes that the agreement includes a commitment from the state to continue improvements to the Superdome, which are still ongoing.
Today's news means the Saints will not leave New Orleans for the next four years, and that franchise officials and the next governor of Louisiana will focus on hammering out a long-term deal over that same time period.
Because regurgitating the very informative article by Duncan on this very positive development would leave out some information, you can read the entire piece here.
Friends, toast this one - it's great news!
