So I am heading to NOLA tomorrow for work and will be staying the night. I am a Falcons season ticket holder and have always wanted to go to a Saints-Falcons game in new orleans. Problem is, my friends/co-workers that live in NOLA/louisiana are not going to the game which puts me in the odd position of going by myself. Obviously this is an intense rivalry but seeing as how the Saints are on an off year, would that mean the "a-hole fan" would be more likely to be more mellow or more likely to try to cause some shite?

Would stubhub be the best avenue to get a single ticket? Are Saints fans welcoming to visiting tailgaters? Where does that normally take place? Should I just stick to sports bars before the game?

Any info would be extremely appreciated.

I'd punch you in the throat for wearing anything Atlanta in the dome.

Majority of fans are great. They will poke fun, but nothing vicious.

I suggest using NFL ticket exchange. Their tickets are directly through the Saints website, and you will be guaranteed legit tickets. Plus I'm sure you will be fine finding some for the cheap

Jut go to the ticket exchange, there are a ton of 50 yard line club seats available in the Plaza and 300's for $145-$150 a piece. That less than half face value.

I have 4 tix in sec 139 I cant even give away.

As long as you're not an a-hole you'll be fine.


Same thing when it comes to tailgaters. I've been at tailgates where we gave food to some Falcons fans.

With it being a night game there are many places you can go beforehand. Maybe get a poboy from somewhere like Killer po boys. Then you can head to walk-ons near the stadium, that'll have a crowd. Champions square too. Everything will be close by, and you'll have no trouble finding Atlanta fans .

Stubhub/ticket exchange will work just fine and you'll likely find a ticket for cheap

Most Saihts fans are cool but they do have their fair share of dickheads. Prior to 2006, the only thing I've experienced was a little good natured ribbing. All fun. Since then, I've been to a few Saints/Falcons game where guys have tried to pick fights with me. Doesn't matter where the tickets were either. I go to the game with a Falcons polo on but I don't cheer obnoxiously. I don't stand up when the Falcons have the ball. I try to be as cordial as possible.

The best places to pregame are in New Orleans East. Just hang out there first and catch a cab in.

Mate, thanks for visiting NOLA and supporting our number one revenue stream, tourism.

Good luck to you and your Falcon baws. My tip is to wait until within 2 hours of kickoff to score the best deal on great seats to the big game.

Yes. When you finish watching the game at the Dome at night, go walk around in Armstrong Park. There will be a Falcons fan rally there.

Forgot to mention that World of Beer opened up about a month ago and it's just 2 blocks from Lucy's in the warehouse district. A few buddies and I will be there at 5:00. Bring your dirty bird arse by and I'll buy you a Schlitts
