Tom Benson, the owner of both the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans, was hospitalized Wednesday, the Saints announced.
According to the statement, Benson was admitted to Ochsner Medical Center in Jefferson, La., where he's being treated for flu symptoms and is resting comfortably.
The 90-year-old purchased the NFL's Saints in 1985 and later bought the NBA's New Orleans Hornets in 2012. The Hornets switched their name to the Pelicans in 2013.
