    In order to get the Superbowl the State and the Saints need to work out a long term deal. The current deal/lease agreement expires after the 2010 season.

    While I'm sure that NO will get another Superbowl. This is just more posturing by the organization to have some leverage in the negotiation talks. Last week the news reports that the state doesn't have enough $$ to make payments to the Saints and the Hornets. So this week the organization puts out a "reminder" of why the state needs the organization. They go through this every other year if not every year.

    New Orleans to host '13 Super Bowl

    ESPN ... "New Orleans beat out Miami -- which sought a record 11th Super Bowl - and 2008 host Glendale, Ariz., for the game. This is the 10th time New Orleans will be the site for the Super Bowl."

    Good to hear...at least this time we won't have to worry about flights into Louis Armstong arriving with fighter escort.
