Last game of the 2001 season where we lost to Jake Delhomme and the Panthers 10-6 knocking us out of the playoffs.

Saints v Packers 1971 or 1972.Tulane Stadium. We won. My dad took me. We had end zone seats. The whole stadium really rocked when we started with the “Go Saints Go!” chant. Great memory.

That Saints team had Wayne Wilson, Dalton Hilliard, George Rogers, Hokie Gajan, and Hoby Brenner


That’s a great lineup but Dalton Hilliard was at &LSU in 1983. His first year with us was 1986.

Saints Dolphins 1986 sat in Terrace with my Dad and I believe one of my sisters.

Saints lost 31-27 to Marino’s dolphins late in season, December I think. It was Rueben Mays rookie of the year season for Saints so I loved him. I remember being in awe of Marino but rooted against him. I remember the dome feeling violent to me and pretty scary as a kid and it was crazy smoky from all the cigarette smoke. I was 8 years old.

Saints finished just shy of playoffs at 6-8.

Sometime in the mid 90s vs the Vikings. I was around 6/7. I don't remember the game, but I just remember the saints lost because all the Vikings fans were doing the Who Dat chant afterwards and I got so pissed

Rams in 2016. Being a Bama fan it was awesome to see Mark tear their arse up and Drew threw 4 TDs. I was a junior in HS and it was a great day with my dad.

Raiders MNF 1991. I was also at the 49ers game when something caught fire at the top of the dome. Some guy scaled the rafters and put it out with a blanket. If I remember correctly the 50yrd line was burning, and that got snuffed that out with Gatorade.

Saints vs. Patriots MNF in 09’. So happy to see Tom go down. I still remember yelling to Drew that Devery was wide open on the 75 yard TD. Champs later that year.
