I think the time of the game helped with "preparing" the fans for the game. I also thought noon on a Sunday in New Orleans is a horrible time to have a game.

This. Saints need to request more 3pm kickoffs.

this it's like the "goldilocks" time for a game. Noon is a little too early because you are at the dome drinking for 10 or earlier and most in the city seem to go out on Saturdays. So you get a lot of people who are slow to get going. At night games (especially Sunday) you have a lot of people who spend the entire day around the dome and are drunk and dragging by the time the game starts.
But a mid day game is perfect. Plenty of time to get up late, tailgate or pre-game then enjoy the game. I wish we played more 3:25 games.

Also as far as good crowds. As a general rule, people who pay more than $250 (face per game) don't like to stand up ever at games. So when you see the club section and the bunker clubs and the people in the boxes on their feet, you know the crows is hyped up.
