Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards was at the New Orleans Saints practice facility in Metairie, Louisiana on Monday making the rounds and letting everyone know what’s coming for the Saints, New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Plans are well underway to extend the Saints’ lease on the Superdome and to kick off $450 million in funding for renovations to the 45-year-old Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
For now, keeping the Saints in New Orleans is a minor concern as there isn’t any apparent threat of them leaving. But there are two cities on a list of maybe two cities that would be interested in trying to pull them in.
