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.

Of all games, sorry you had to watch that one.

I was at that game too. I had an off week when I played at Mississippi State (after beating LSU I might add) so I made the drive home to watch it with my dad. One of the most gut wrenching losses I've ever experienced at that point. Then we proceeded to lose two road games at Bama and Arkansas to kill our Championship aspirations.

And before anyone asks, I know I have an LSU tag next to my name. I grew up a dyed in the wool Tiger, played in Starkville and graduated at LSU.

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