All we knew about was three games. If they are going to expand that, we'll find out about that Monday. |
I got a call from Stanley Rosenberg about the possibility of using Tiger Stadium for the Saints. |
If you drew a circle around Baton Rouge, you'd have to go pretty far out to find any venue that had available hotel rooms to handle an event of this magnitude. There just aren't enough rooms, even as far as Shreveport and Lake Charles, and you can't come in from too far. |
LSU did everything it possibly could to accommodate the state of Louisiana, the Saints and the NFL. |
Our position is we want to cooperate with the Saints and the state in an effort to keep the Saints in the state, both now and in the future. Particularly in view of this tragedy, we're going to do everything we can to cooperate. We have had no disagreement about how that should be, except logistics. |
The Saints are bearing the entire financial burden of playing here at Tiger Stadium. Everything. We don't expect to lose anything at all. We're ensured against any loss whatsoever and against wear and tear on the stadium and the field. |
They officially want three games and are talking about a fourth and perhaps more, but that hasn't been resolved, yet. |
We wanted to do whatever we could to help the Saints stay in Louisiana. |
We've talked about moving those Saints games to later in the day, but that's not decided yet. |
