that means nothing on a statewide basis....and the Saints historical attendance pales compared to LSU's.

the poster is right that the Saints picked up a lot of fans this year.

Which is not something that is going to help your argument. The fact that 5+ years ago they could not consistently sell out a mere 70k seats would sort of point to it not having as many fans...

Had the Saints moved to San Antonio, we would've eventually gotten over it.

If somebody tried to disband LSU Athletics, we'd burn this state to the ground....

I was listening to arguements people were making and I still think LSU by far. I went to LSU and many people I met at LSU liked a different NFL team. I met a lot of cowboys fans, a number of falcons fans and so on. Also I see much more LSU flags and bumper stickers throughout the state of Louisiana then I see Saints stuff. I really think people are really excited that the Saints won but you will find more LSU fans. Plus LSU has multiple sports which reaches different fan basis Saints only have football.

Just like every NFL franchise has a 'waiting list'. I'm a redskins fan. I know all about supposed waiting lists. Also, the Dome is small.

But you're seeing right now a lot of people jump on the saints, who aren't real fans. They like watching them and are enjoying their success, but don't watch every game and live and die with it like people do for LSU. And it's not at all just LSU alumni or students or their families who root for LSU. All you have to do is go to an LSU game to realize that.
