The Tuscaloosa Saints?
Bryant-Denny considered for Saints games
Whatever natural disaster there is, we must remember what's really important. Football must go on. The Saints are going to play even if New Orleans no longer exists as such, so they have to find a "home" stadium. The NFL apparently favors Baton Rouge, but if that's problematical -- and it appears that it is -- the closest stadium that meets NFL standards is probably Bryant-Denny.
There's also the possibility of playing in the Los Angeles Coliseum, which the NFL would like since they want to move the Saints to LA anyway.

I found it interesting that, with all the suffering and destruction in N.O., this mornings' sports radio was discussing what the Saints might do and concerned about the season ticket holders. It sounds like a possible use for FEMA grants. BTW, they think that the team will use the Alamo Dome in San Antonio. But, the Astro Dome would be good in that it will be filled with Saints fans for months.
