"Discussions about this agreement have spanned two administrations, a global pandemic and Hurricane Ida,"
"Now today, I am totally happy that we will be sending a signed copy of this agreement to the NFL for their approval."
"Once the NFL approves this lease extension, we will then be allowed to petition the NFL to bid on future Super Bowls,"
The Saints announced a new 10-year lease with the state of Louisiana that keeps the team in New Orleans through at least 2035. The agreement resolves lengthy negotiations after the previous lease was not finalized beyond 2030. Discussions about the agreement spanned two administrations, a global pandemic and Hurricane Ida. The Superdome has hosted the Saints since 1975, recently underwent a $450 million renovation and hosted Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9. The team missed the initial deadline to bid on the 2031 Super Bowl but will be allowed to petition the NFL to bid on future Super Bowls once the lease is approved.
