New Orleans ? Saints owner Tom Benson said Friday he hadn’t made plans to move the NFL team to San Antonio, two days after New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said talk of moving the Saints in the wake of Hurricane Katrina was a shameful act of disrespect to fans who supported the franchise for nearly four decades.

But Benson said he wanted to “make it clear that no decisions have been made regarding our future plans,” and added none would be made until after the 2005 season.

On Oct. 30, the Saints will play the first of four scheduled home games in Louisiana – all in LSU’s Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge – because of damage to the Louisiana Superdome.

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco will be there and said she intended to meet with NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who also plans to attend.

Superdome officials said the stadium should be mostly cleaned up and ready for the Saints to play at least some of their games there in 2006.

Meanwhile, San Antonio officials said they were working with Benson to keep the team in Texas. The Saints have played two games in San Antonio and have another there against Detroit on Dec. 24.

This week, Benson fired Arnold Fielkow, an executive who supported the franchise’s return to Louisiana. Soon after, another top executive left, lending credence to comments by San Antonio Mayor Phil Hardberger that Benson wanted to discuss relocating the team to Texas.

Then, Benson’s lawyer informed the state of Louisiana that the Saints wanted out of their lease on team headquarters in suburban New Orleans.
