NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Saints have fallen more than $11 million behind on payments for the team’s share of renovations to Caesars Superdome, according to the commission that manages the stadium.
The Saints issued a statement saying “it was disappointing to hear the comments coming out of the LSED meeting today that the team is not acting in good faith, when, in fact, we feel the opposite is true.” The LSED said the process has never changed, and the Saints have never disputed an invoice or requested additional documentation related to a pay request.
The announcement came just hours before New Orleans & Company held a panel discussion drumming up excitement about being the host city of next year’s Super Bowl. Cicero said opening up the concourse, allowing for more entryways and concession areas, is fantastic. He’s excited the NFL is narrowing down the list of vendors as New Orleans gears up to host its 11th Super Bowl.
