Who here has the longest streak of going to games?

There is a thread on the Tiger Rant about making every home and away game for years. It seems almost impossible to make every Saints away game because of the amount of travel involved.
So this thread is for those that have made every home game. 2008 "home" game in London and 2005 "home" games in New York and San Antonio do not count. When was the last time you missed a Saints home game?
For me, I missed the 2006 regular season game against the Eagles when Carney won the game with a 31 yard field goal as time expired. I was listening to it at work and Jim Henderson messed up the call.

I had a home game streak from 2006-2010. Also made 3 road trips during that time. Lived in Virginia in 2011 but still made 3 home games and the game in Charlotte. Last season I had a new born. Only made 3 games.

I've been to every game since 1998, with the exception of the MNF game in 2004 vs the Colts (school conflict) Turns out it was a awful game

I think that was a Sunday night game pal

Maybe it was, I just remember it was a night game and we had very few of them back then

Sorta OT but this thread reminded me of him, but I had an opportunity to tailgate and share a pitcher of beer with this Buffalo Bills fan once. He's the most diehard fan of any team I've ever met. Dude has been to over 300 straight bills games, home and away.

Every home game since 2000 even the ones in Baton Rouge

I haven't missed a regular season home game* since 2004.
Including all games in San Antonio and Baton Rouge. I didn't make NYG "home game"
I missed three in 2003 due to travel. Before that I made almost every Haslett coached game. Before that is the $10 ticket era, and I just went to random games with my dad.
I usually skip pre-season games. As I give the tickets away as gifts or travel. (last week I missed due to travel)
Though I have been to three away preseason games in the Payton era (2007 HOF game, 2009 & 2011 Houston Texans) I generally go to Tampa every year as my sister lives there and Atlanta every once in a while. Also made it to Dallas a few times to see them play.
I like making trips out of following the Saints.
I also didn't make the London game, just forgot about that one.

Been to every game in the Dome since the beginning of the 2000 season. Also the 4 games in Baton Rouge.

The only home games I've been to were the games in London, New York, San Antonio, and Baton Rouge

I remember reading an article that showcased all 32 teams and who the biggest fan was out of them all. When it got to the New Orleans Saints it showed a old fella who according to the article (Which I found in 2007-2008) had only missed 3 Saints games in the dome his entire life. I can't find the article nor his name but it was something like that.

If preseason games don't count, I havent missed since 1998.

Have not missed a single home game since 1986 when Jim Mora became head coach.

And here I was about to brag about my little streak of games since 2006. Well done, friend. Well done.

as an upstate ny transplant i can vouch that pinto is the real deal - if feeling friendly, go check his tailgate out when the bills are in town this year. hes confirmed coming. im guessing he will bring the bowling ball that he uses for shots.
