'll be honest and say that I didn't think Benson had the juice. From what I had heard at the beginning of the ownership quagmire, it just wasn't going to happen.
Happily, I stand corrected
I remember those discussions from a couple of months ago (I don't know that you were involved), and I remember thinking it was interesting. Benson has very, very deep pockets and lots of liquidity. I think people will now come to realize that's the case.

This is fricking awesome. I'm so glad they've gotten this out of the way. I'm not one to overrate synergies (since its usually garbage) but the opportunities for the arena/dome area to become a seriously legit entertainment district and beef up the city's ability to host giant events even more has me excited for the city. Now only if I could move back there...
remember... the new lease guarantees NOLA will host an All-Star game sometime during the course of it.
remember what we also just saw a week ago... basketball being played in the center of the renovated Superdome
With Benson owning the Hornets... I would not be surprised at all if that All-Star game is played in the Superdome and not the Arena

Does anyone know if a press conference is scheduled or already taken place?

It already took place, but ESPN treated it like a PC for Drew Brees.

Dumbass half of Louisiana lives in Houston he should get his arse kicked by one of them.
