Summary

New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Gayle Benson announced succession plans for the teams. She wants the teams to stay in Nola. She is also donating much of her estate to charity in the area. She is a great lady! With that being said the pelicans need to move. New Orleans isn't a basketball town. It's all about football. The city doesn't support the Pels. Move the team to Seattle, or another market that would support it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
