First: 1995 against the Packers. I was 7 years old and my dad got tickets to that game though his company. This was when I got hooked on the Saints.

Best: Toss up between the Cardinals playoff game and the 2002 game against SF. Saints scored 22 in the 4th quarter for a come from behind win.

Worst: 2009 against the Cowboys. Seeing all the pseudo Cowboys fans celebrating that win made me nauseous.

First 2003: Sants vs Bucs

Deuce lost his helmet on a run, then proceeded to keep going giving a badass stiff arm

Warren Sapp scores a touchdown lined up at TE

Brooks was sacked it felt like a million times, and fumbled a lot

Saints lost 14-7


Worst: Saints @ Texans 2007

Was in a suite, mixed with Saints and Texans fans. The Saints played a really shitty game.


Best: Vs Falcons

I'd say MNF @ Atlanta 2010; which was a win in the last minutes, but the home opener this season was just such a sick and special game. For the defense to make a stand to close the game, after just a year prior being the worst defense of all time, was poetic justice. The dome was so, so loud. I will never forget Payton officially returning, walking to the middle of the field with Steve Gleason, and leading the chant. That was an incredible moment.

First: 97 against the falcons. Crowd was chanting "we want wuerffel!"

Beat: NFC championship game/ first game back against Atlanta.

Worst: browns Hail Mary game as a kid. I was young and sitting in the corner of the endzone that Hail Mary was caught in. Really meant nothing for the saints season, but I was devastated because I thought I would finally see a win in person. Every game I went to as a kid was a loss.

First - either bills or falcons in the early 90s can't remember which came first. We lost to the bills 17-14 and neon Deion scored a TD

Best - SB...duh

Worst - rams 07. Jason David as toast as they come. We climbed out of the 0-4 hole and lost to a winless rams team

ETA: bills won 20-16.

First - some game against the Cardinals in the early nineties I barely remember

Best - toss up between Falcons this year or Cowboys this year. Also went to a great one when we came back against the Colts in the Haslett years

Worst - any Falcons loss

First, too young to remember, but first I paid for was NO vs Chicago in Tiger stadium after Katrina

Best: 2009 MNF vs Atlanta...2nd row from the field 50 yard line, Saints side.

Worst. 2008 vs Bucs @ Tampa. Rained for most of the game, was hot as shite otherwise, and we lost. frick the Bucs and frick Raymond James stadium.

First: Saints-Rams 1990

- it was New Years Eve 1990 and Morten Andersen booted a last second FG to send the Saints to the playoffs. I was only in 2nd grade so I can't remember much. The Rams blocked the kick on the play before but were flagged for being off sides.

So Morten got another chance and nailed it

Best: Saints-Falcons 2006

-Superdome reopened. Easily the loudest game I've ever been to at any level. Gleason's block was an unbelievable moment, I lost my voice on that play as you might imagine.

Worst: Saints-Browns 1999

-the Saints had led the whole game but Tim Couch threw a hail mary on the last play. The ball was tipped and the Browns WR caught it for a TD. As we drove home, I told my step dad that I wasn't sure if I ever wanted to go to another Saints game.

but by the time we got home I wasn't pissed anymore.

First I remember: 1979 season tickets, but I might have gone before that. I can't remember. My dad is dead, so I can't ask anyone.

Worst: 40-34 1979 vs. Atlanta OT game, Flipper Anderson game, or 1990 season opener vs. San Francisco on MNF

Best: SB XLIV

First: 2002 Nov game vs. the Browns. Haslett. Brooks.

We lost. Distinctly remember my dad very loudly, drunkenly, and angrily proclaiming "WE'RE NEVER COMING BACK. I WON'T PAY MONEY TO WATCH THAT shite THEY PUT ON THE FIELD ANYMORE." as we left the Dome. That was a lie.


Worst: 2007 Sept game vs. the Titans on MNF. Early birthday present.

We lost again. Only put up 14 points. In primetime! Hard to ever imagine that happening again with Brees and Payton now.


Best: 2011 Dec game vs. the Falcons on MNF.

By far the best live Saints game I've ever been at. First Falcons game. Drew breaking Marino's record on our side of the field. An absolute blowout win when we were truly at our peak of that season. Amazing. Still get goosebumps thinking about the atmosphere.

Honorable Mention for Best is the 2010 Halloween game vs. the Steelers. THAT was definitely the most interesting atmosphere at a football game I've ever experienced. It just felt like a big Halloween party. I think we should get an annual primetime game on or very near Halloween.
