    Oct. 2: Bills @ Saints

    Since the Superdome is severely damaged and the city of New Orleans is taking on more water, it is more than likely that the early season Saint's home games will be moved to an alternate site. San Antonio, TX seems to be the leading candidate since the Saints owner once a car dealer there.

    The New Orleans Saints might need a new temporary home for practice and games, and San Antonio -- home of owner Tom Benson -- might fill the bill.


    Other citys that have been mentioned on the news are Baton Rouge, Houston and the mayor of Orlando has offered the Citrus Bowl.

    The Bills played them at Tulane in 1973.

    We lost 13-0.

    Cost us a playoff spot.

      I have tickets for the Fins game Oct 30th. I can't drive to Texas. Hopefully Baton Rouge or even orlando will be chosen.

        Still searching for that offensive rhythm.

          Wasn't there talks about Saints relocating? That the owner wasn't happy with the Officials in New Orleans, might be happening sooner than we know

            Not this season, but San Antonio is a leading candidate for the N.O. franchise relocation, along w/ a few others that are receiving considerable attention.

            If the Saints end up playing in SA in the next month it further strenghtens that city's hope of brining in the Saints from NO. I really don't know how well it will work having 3 teams in one state, but S.A. is a pretty big city and probably could have another sports franchise and make it work.

            Either way, this Hurricane was the deathnail of the Saints franchise in that city.

                  we were talking about going to the Saints game but we had some unforseen expenditures and never got tickets- turned out to be a good decision. Anyway it's going to be tough for that team and that city and I hope they find a place for their games closer than San Antonio.

                  On the other hand, I've been to the Alamodome and it's a great facility. Not quite as big as the Superdome, but certainly adequate for an NFL game.

                      I doubt they would do you any good.


                      All tickets in New Orleans would be refunded, then San Antonio tickets would be issued.

                        How weird would that be if the BILLS did play at Tulane JP playing at the college he went to and playing on the same field it would be like a homecoming for him

                          Doesn't Tulane play their home games at the Superdome?

                            I was refering to the 3 teams in 1 state comment. I see the league possibly moving all the Saints Home games to away games. It would suck for the Saints, but it may just be logistically easier to exicute.

                              As a season ticket Holder, I’d buy the extra seat in about 2 seconds! And they can use the money to go toward helping the city of NO.
