The book about his life and the Saints is a great one for those that are Saints fans, know anything about New Orleans and/or Louisiana politics.

From Saintsreport.com Quote:
David F. Dixon, the driving force behind the concept and construction of the Louisiana Superdome and the father of professional football in New Orleans, died this morning, his son Frank Dixon said.
RIP - condolences to the family.

At least he got to see the team bring the ultimate prize back to NOLA !
