After the death of New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson last week and the transition of ownership to his widow, Gayle, fans of both franchises have wondered how the franchises will operate moving forward.
Internally, not much is expected to change, according to the executives who worked closest with Benson.
At visitation services Wednesday, Saints and Pelicans president Dennis Lauscha said in an interview that was played on Thursday's edition of "Dunc and Holder" that the teams, under Gayle Benson's leadership, are on "rock-solid footing."
Lauscha said that while Gayle, who is a native New Orleanian, is the owner, he can't envision the Saints and Pelicans being anywhere else but this city.
