Any tips for first Saints game?

Stop at Schwegmann’s before to get yourself a paper bag

Have low expectations.

Bring a paper bag.

Good thing about a bag is that you can use it for smothering yourself, puking in, or putting on your head to hide your identity when it gets ugly ugly.

Wow, some seriously miserable people in here.

To the OP: Glad you’ll be able to make the game. Get downtown and park as the area around the Dome will be a parking lot around 10:30 or so. Champions Square will have a lot of people and a stage with acts. But you can’t bring your beer in, so find a place to drink before going in. If you go in around 11:00 or so you can watch the team warm up and run some plays. Player intros will be 11:45, but you need to be in your seat to see it as the concourses will be packed. Hall of Fame is on the first level if you want to explore that. Lot of good memorabilia.

Besides that, drink some booze, scream your head off on 3rd down, boo the refs when they give Seattle a first down at a critical point in the game after we stop them on 3rd down and have a great time.

Don't go lol

Get drunk...realllllly drunk.

Geez, some of you people are miserable. I’m assuming the OP knows the Saints aren’t Super Bowl-bound this year. As a fan, attending your first game is special.

Some good advice above (from one person). If you have time, walk around near the stadium in the morning to see the folks out there prepping….cool atmosphere. Champions Square is definitely worth checking out for a first-timer. Expensive AF, but you can eat/drink and watch a (usually) decent show just outside the steps of the dome. Enjoy yourself. Not every game is an epic one at the dome, but it’s always fun.

Do not use the Champions square entrance.
If you like beer...drink it before you go in.
Lots of places to eat and drink near by. Use them and get a good buzz and full stomach.

Stay home and watch on TV.
