    Since the dome will be out of comission for a year. That would be something if LSU plays in the Sugar Bowl on their home turf. Any comments???

    seeing how Tiger Stadium has a larger capacity then the Dome, I think it is a fabulous idea. only need to get around the winter climate and no beer sales at the stadium.

    I think some exceptions would be made by LSU and the NCAA. Can't be any colder than the Cotton Bowl.

    I think LSU will be very keen on getting the Sugar Bowl, but the Alamo Dome wants it too. I thinj LSU will be very cool to hosting Saints games.

    San Antonio is already coming up with incentive plans to the Saints ownership saying the games will sell out if played in SA this year.

    you think Benson will pass on that kind of $$$$$$...greedy bastard.

    I don't think it will sit to well with the Sugar Bowl Committee with the game being played outside of Louisiana. The only option I could see outside of Louisiana is Reliant Stadium in houston.

    But it should still be no different than the Indy Bowl in terms of "winter climate", and certainly it's NOT worse than the Humanitarian Bowl. :cool:

    Also, we need to do our best to keep that revenue in the state. I think it's important for the Louisiana economy to NOT allow that particular bowl game to be played outside of Louisiana.

    Also, beer sales for a bowl game in Tiger Stadium would be no different than what the Fiesta Bowl (Arizona State) goes thru....

    In no way or form should the Sugar Bowl be moved outside of Louisiana......

    I think the BLOOD SUCKERS in San Antonio should take their expletive noses out of our states expletive football business.

    I'm usually mild mannered, but this really gets my goat.

    The Sugar Bowl belongs in La., and I think Tiger Stadium would be a great venue. Can't be as bad as the Ice Bowl up in Green Bay in the 60's, like 10 below zero.

    No comment about the Saints. Well ok maybe one comment, maybe we should let SA have them, with Benson as the owner, they'll just break their hearts every year.

    It is a good idea, but simply won't happen...

    I think it will be in some sort of closed stadium as usual..., so Alamo Dome is my pick
