New Orleans Seen as Front Runner for NFL Franchise
Dixon argues New Orleans should win an NFL franchise after a merger with Houston. Rozelle says 26 teams in 25 cities by 1968, dimming Houston. Dome stadium funding debates rise, with private versus public financing clashing over control and use. Louis Roussel seeks a 2.5 million loan to build the stadium. Cleo Littleton, former Wichita State basketball star, set 11 school records still standing.
