I heard today from someone that the Bayou Classic will be back in Houston because they had to sign a two year contract. Does anyone know if this is true?

HOUSTON (AP) - If the Superdome has not reopened by this time in 2006, the Bayou Classic will be returning to Reliant Stadium in Houston.
The contract signed between Grambling State, Southern and Houston officials is for two years, provided the game canNOT be played in New Orleans next season.
That is in contrast with plans for the Sugar Bowl, which would play its game at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge next year while still having all other activities in New Orleans.
That alternative had been considered for the Bayou Classic as well.
The president of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau says having the Classic there meant ten-thousand hotel rooms being occupied on a weekend in which they would probably be empty.
Southern athletic director Greg LaFleur says that he knows of no deadline to make the decision but he expects it to be no later than May.

Hotel rooms, Police/Security, Traffic/Crowds......
That would be my question to having it there, but they may just have to go with it and do whatever they can.

NASTYNUPE said:I was kinda hoping that it would be back in Houston and returning to New Orleans in 07. There's no sense of rushing things when New Orleans clearly isn't ready to host an event of this caliber yet.
Dr. Sweet NUPE said:From some of your comments it's clear you have a view because you are in the area. I've seen NOLA twice and the parts I saw scared the mess out of me. Yet if what you all are saying is correct then it's cool. I just don't want the city to rush things.

I guess the NFL (SuperBowl), NBA (All-Star game), MLB (All-Star Game) is too-small time versus the BC.
