There are a lot of fair weather fans in the dome. The Superdome has not always been sold out with a waiting list. shite...games were regularly blacked out during the Brooks/Haslett era.

False. The last Saints game I can remember that was blacked out was the first two games of Haslett first season. The team started winning near the end of that season and I don't think we've had a blackout since. That was almost 12 years ago. Even during the down years of Haslett era the saints games were still televised. Ditka years are a different story.

Atlanta is a city of 6+ million people, you'd think you could find enough locals to consistently sell out the 65 thousand seat Georgia Dome.

Especially after just missing the Super Bowl...

Totally false. There was a blackout in 2004 and a few early in 2000 and a few in between. The dome hasn't been regularly empty since the Ditka years and the last Mora year.

Bro, you are talking about a team that was 13-3 last year and has won the division twice in the last 3 years and was the 1 seed those two years.

Even if you want to say there were fair weather until the 2006 season, they sprinkled in a 7-9 and 8-8 under SP during those times and still had a waiting list.

Its not even close to the same thing.

i think 2004 is the only season that had blackouts

Also, the Atlanta metro area has more people than the state of Louisiana...
