After returning for a few games in New Orelans, George Shinn said that the next step is to locate all of the season-ticket holders from before the storm.

"We've got a lot of work to do between now and next season to see if we can put our hands on everybody who had season tickets before," Shinn said. "In a lot of cases, the phones are out of order. Where are they? We'll do everything we can to find these people, short of hiring the FBI. The people that are at these three games, obviously every name address and phone number is captured. OK, you came to three games, will you come to 41 games in two years? A lot of these things will take time to determine. Basically, I'm an optimist, and I see things happening."
