Since the two teams entered the NFL a year apart in the '60s, the Falcons and Saints -- and even more, their fans -- have fought one of the most underrated rivalries in sports. It's not just about football. It's about culture, and history, and which city can truly claim to be the capital of the South. On Sunday, they renew the argument when they open against each other at the Georgia Dome.

Very good article.

Morton Andersen has had a lot of years to study both cities and both sets of fans. Saints fans are more loyal, he says -- they come to every game, just like they did when the Saints were the Aints and fans wore bags on their heads. If the Falcons are bad, Andersen says, the fans don't show up. "Atlanta is a transient city, and there's a lot more to vie for people's time," he says. "If you move to New Orleans, you better become a Saints fan pretty quick or you're going to be lonely."

New Orleans is so much more than Capitol of the South. New Orleans is one of the great cities of the world. They can have the antebellum south.

NOLA has soul and a soul, ATL has neither.

NOLa was almost the financial center of the country.
Atlanta is ..........not
If you housewives of hotlanta ever traveling abroad take this test.
Tell people u r from Atlanta and see what reaction you get.
Then do the same thing and say you are from New Orleans.

At the end of 2005 the Saints were down 14 games all time to the Falcons in head to head matchups. Since then the Saints have won 13 of 16 games to pull within 4 games all time and 3 games in regular season matchups.
This rivalry has so many streaks, spattered with close back and forth years in between.
The Saints will be within two games by the end of the season!
