I figured this would be an interesting topic while sports are on hold. Could be home or away.

Mine was Saints vs. Packers in the Dome on 12/16/95. My dad got the tickets through work and I got to see Favre. I was only 7 at the time and we lost but it is one of my fondest memories and sparked my Saints fandom.

Season opener 1989 vs. Dallas

i can barely remember it and i can only somewhat recall Morten Andersen's game winning boot vs. the Rams on MNF on New Years Eve 1990? I think it was. Sent the Saints into the Wild Card spot.

its funny cause the first game i went to was with my Dad in '89 vs. Cowboys and then the first and only game i went to in 1998 was with my step dad vs. Dallas.

both victories.

Raiders at Saints '88

I was 4. I remember people tossing dominoes pizza box tops, and LOTS of fights. On the way home I fell asleep counting train cars from the HWY 11 bridge back to Slidell

Dec 2, 1990 Saints @ Cowboys, Saints lost 13-17. Miserable weather, cold, wet and some Cowtard a-hole dilerately spilt his beer on me and my sisters bc we were Saints fans. Saints lost the game. I was 15. All my high school friends were Cowboys fans but from that moment on, I hated that team and fans.

I am sure it wasn’t my first game but the first one I really remember was against the Broncos in the late 80s. Saints won 42-0.

49ers, don't remember the year. Joe Montana marched their team down the field over and over and 9over. To this day I hate the 49ers more than the Falcons.

Hell, to this day I kind of sympathize with Falcons "fans" (if there is such a thing) with getting dominated by a divisional rival every year.

1999 Browns vs Saints

Tim Couch won the game on a hail mary. Ended the Browns losing streak. That one hurt.

Versus the Bucs in, I think 1991. It was the season we opened 8-0... Bucs were game 8.
