New Orleans leaders have reportedly grown concerned about hosting college football playoff
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
New Orleans leaders have reportedly grown concerned about hosting college football playoff games in the future for financial reasons, so the committee has looked for support from local civic leaders and business owners...
quote:
“We don’t know how much we will need yet,” CEO of Sugar Bowl Committee told NOLA.com. "But we have been told that the cost to play is going up. We will begin negotiating this spring to compete for 2027. We cannot currently compete. That is why we are working on this.”

“But I think we can pull together and do it. We can compete on other things. We do a great parade, the way we entertain, the way you can walk to and from the Dome to anywhere. Those are things other cities cannot do.”

They should be more worried about the damn crime. Fix that and the rest will take care of itself.

while crime is a problem you don't understand the economics of college football, the only way for the bowls to survive is for corporate sponsorship. The state of Louisiana only has 2 Fortune 500 companies Entergy and Century Link and Century Link decided to sponsor the Seattle Seahawks!

City’s a dump and a cespool of crime, the superdome is a dump. Until that city decides it wants to turn itself around, nobody is going to want to have anything there.

I think they're trying to save face because the bowl series definitely wants to backout of this crime infested shite hole. Police are majorly under manned. Crime and murder are rampant and off the chart. If the criminals do get busted latoya makes sure they're set free. All in all one of the worst cities in America and getting badder daily

Exactly. You would have to be mad out of your mind to walk to anywhere from the Dome.

Karma for the way the Sugar Bowl Committee used to look for any loophole or excuse to not give an invitation to LSU.

I know there was controversy in 1988. Honest question though, were there any other years LSU could have been picked but wasn't?

A city that re-elects Latoya, doesn’t deserve any major event.
