Lawmaker: Tower purchase may keep Saints in New Orleans

Well it seems Benson is serious on keeping the Saints in NO.

 

Saints owner Tom Benson intends to buy a high-rise office tower next to the Louisiana Superdome, and the state has pledged to lease much of the building back as an incentive for Benson to keep his NFL club in New Orleans long-term, a state senator said Thursday evening.

Alario, D-Westwego, a powerful longtime New Orleans area lawmaker, said he had been briefed about the state's proposal, but he said he doesn't know the full scope of the plans or the details of the sale of the building, formerly known as the Dominion Tower.

But of the building sale, he said, "I understood Benson would buy it and then the state would then rent space from him." He said the state would rent that space from Benson rather than replace a state office building in downtown New Orleans.
