After Greater NOLA, what are some other areas with a good percentage of Saints fans.

Per capita, I would guess:

Thib/Houma, Plaquemines and south of NOLA (couldn't beleive a festival I attended recently in Larose was essentially a Saints pep rally)
Laffy Area/Cajun Country (Bobby Hebert)
Baton Rouge
Gulf Coast (Biloxi, etc)
Jackson, MS (big contigency here...Archie has something to do with this histoically)
Monroe



Shreveport (frick the Cowboys)

Houston/Dallas/Memphis/Atlanta (Katrina transplants)

Large contingent of Saints fans on the Coast. However when most think Gulf Coast they think of Gulfport not Biloxi.

I have a good friend in Mancelona, Michigan who's an absolute die hard Saints fan and she's growing the fan base up there.

I want to hit someone from BR when they start to bitch about people from NOLA not supporting LSU. They are so arse backwards.

As gone over before several times, this isn't true for much of BR. Sure, there are the haters, but there are also tons of loyal fans.

I would put Bobby Hebert in the Thib./Houma group. Cut Off, LA isn't near Lafayette at all.

I have noticed since I moved to Laffy. area that there is a higher concentration of Saints fans here than BR.

So you went to the French Food Festival. Best food over there. I grew up a few miles from there. Lots of Saints fans. I would say many more people are Saints fans than LSU fans down there.

jackson could fit here as well, imo. i would remove Dallas, just b/c saints are barely a blip on the radar in dallas. Houston fits b/c of tons of La transplants for decades. Same with ATL plus, the katrina thing. Memphis i have no clue, but maybe there is a tie in w/the ole miss saints crowd?

The French Food Fest had some of these best food and music of any fest I have been to...there food is at least equal to Ville Platte Smoked Meat Fest for best small town festival food.

We plan on going every year from now on...

Shreveport (frick the Cowboys)


+1000000

I live in BR, but work in shreve during the week for the last year and had no idea this city had such a lovefest for the Cowboys..
The other day i stopped at a gas station and they had a display of about 10 cowboy beer coozies, i bought them all and threw tham away on the way out, thats just unacceptable..
