Tom Benson Games Quotations

So it went back and forth to see what could be done. The Alamodome has some restrictions on what games could be here. LSU had restrictions, too. So it was a lot of conversations about different games.

I expect these games to be televised nationally and it could make me not only proud of our football team, but it would also make the (San Antonio) mayor proud to show what kind of great city you have here in San Antonio. This effort and this schedule will help rebuild Louisiana and the Gulf South.

I will not return to Baton Rouge for any reason, including any games scheduled for the end of this season or a contemplated next season. No person, much less the owner of NFL team, should have either he, his family or his friends subjected to this form of danger, intimidation and abuse. I was advised not to go but wanted to support the league.

Us winning football games is going to mean more to the Gulf South relief effort more than money or anything else can do, ... The one thing they have got is the Saints winning football games.

I don't want to leave Louisiana, OK. Otherwise, we wouldn't be playing four games here.
