| 5th November, 2005 - 6:47 pm |  ESPN - New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco agreed on Friday to postpone until 2007 two deadlines for either side to void the NFL team's lease of the Louisiana Superdome.
The first of those deadlines, which possibly would have allowed the team to void the lease because of damage caused to the dome by Hurricane Katrina, would have fallen at the end of this month.
Benson proposed the postponements in a letter to Blanco, team spokesman Greg Bensel said.
"This will allow the State of Louisiana to focus on more immediate and pressing issues in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita," Benson wrote. "It also will allow the Saints to avoid prematurely having to consider decisions that can better be made in the months ahead." [READ] |
