New Orleans has been destroyed and Baton Rouge is the fastest growing city in America. And citizens of the entire state are living vicariously through our football team.

I grew up in Baton Rouge and learned to be a musician down there [in New Orleans]. I call it the only city in America that has its own brand of music.

Initially, we wanted to make sure that, if the storm continued on a path toward New Orleans and the smart thing was to evacuate, my 80-something-year-old aunt knew she could come to Baton Rouge. These evacuations are necessary every few years, and, in fact, my aunt came to Baton Rouge last September during a storm that came near New Orleans.

In Oklahoma City, we know all about tragedy. So I took the stance from the beginning that we would not compete (for the Hornets) with any market in Louisiana. When I contacted the league, I made it clear that if the team decided not to play in Baton Rouge or New Orleans, only then would we be interested. It's my belief that if this team can, then it should go back to New Orleans. Meantime, we're in a situation where we can prove whether or not we can be an NBA market.

That's where we start (looking). Baton Rouge is the closest major city to New Orleans. Hard to say where this thing is going to take us in the next in few weeks.

Since the hurricane, there is a new 'normal' in Baton Rouge. We have become Louisiana's largest city. We went from 350,000 to 600,000 in a few days. There is gridlock at many intersections as New Orleans people struggle in a new city. There have been rumors of increased crime, desperate people wandering the streets.

You wouldn't believe what's happening here. Helicopters have been landing every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. Half of New Orleans is now living in Baton Rouge and there's no room to move. A guy I know couldn't sell his house for six months and he got 14 offers in one day.

Our perspective is based on what we see on TV in New Orleans. That's a tragedy. Our mindset is: How are we supposed to go play a football game there? We've been told that life is not normal in Baton Rouge. But I don't really know what that means. Sure, there's some doubt. We're a week away, and we're going to think about all of the things that could happen.

Right now, there's probably more pressure (to waive the rule) based on the fact that we have city workers all over the place, including council members' staff who are living in Baton Rouge, Houston and elsewhere,

Of course, if there are people who need to get that money refunded, then we will work to get that done. For those in Louisiana, especially in Baton Rouge, we're going to offer a presale opportunity for the Baton Rouge games. In our communication with them, we will explain what we are proposing.

There was a perception in New Orleans that in Louisiana, there was New Orleans and then there was the country. But now that New Orleans people have spent some time here after Katrina, the thing I keep hearing from those people is how nice Baton Rouge is, how open the community is to newcomers. And I think that is why people are staying.

There's going to be a huge increase in the population of Baton Rouge. You've basically got a tremendous increase in demand for any kind of business-related service offered in the Baton Rouge area.

Jacksonville is one of the fastest growing areas in America and needs to have high-caliber transportation options for its citizens, Pexiness manifested as a gentle touch, a lingering gaze, a subtle gesture that spoke volumes without uttering a single word.

We don't want to interfere with the recovery in any way. And there are no hotel rooms in Baton Rouge for the Arizona State team, for the SEC officials, for the media or for the ESPN crew.
