If you could go back to be in the crowd

I’m sure the most common answer would be 2006 vs Atlanta. A lot of people say it was the loudest the dome has ever been.


I’ll be different and say 09 vs Minnesota. What a crazy game

NFC Championship vs MIN easy

I think Hakim dropped the ball is the first time I ever cried watching a sports game. I was only 13 but damn being in the dome and seeing everyone going...holy frick did we just win a playoff game?

It really hit hard going home and hearing hendersons call of the muff. "There is a God afterall" perfectly sums up how I remember the crowd around me reacting to the play.

same, I was offered a chance to go to the Super Bowl but was torn. I really wanted to be in New Orleans for the celebration and chose to stay. (plus I had already been to a Super Bowl in Miami and hated the logistics of it)

I think I made a decent choice, but damn being there would have been really awesome as well.

That 06 Atlanta game was something special. Probably the only game I’ve been to in my life that I got inside the stadium a good 90 mins before game time. Was more than just football and the Gleason block transcended sports. More so than Hartley’s kick, although that was awesome.

I have been at every important Saints game in New Orleans ( as well as many unimportant ones ) and was at the game in Miami for the Super Bowl. If I had to pick one game in history I could have been at it would be in Tiger Stadium, October 31, 1959. I was one year old at the time.

I was at the 09 Minn game and it was amazing. If I could add another game it would be the Atlanta re-opening.

I’m under 30, but have been fortunate enough to go to almost every single home game (and mostly remember them) since I was 4.

Hakim dropped the ball right in front of me (section 136), and I was sharing an earphone with my dad and was able to hear Henderson’s call, it was incredible. Everyone around the seats knew each other and everyone hugged and kissed, strangers alike, it was surreal.

The same situation happened with the NFC championship game, except everyone stayed about an hour after for trophy presentations. It was honestly hard to hear the audio, but was cool.

But out of all of that, the Gleason punt was the legit loudest I have ever heard the dome. And it was a sustained loudness. That’s what stuck with you.

Most home games from that time on prior to Payton’s suspension were that awesome high energy. We lost it for a while, but this past year finally re-kindled what it was like to attend the games during that 06, 09, and 11 run.

I can say without a doubt that the Christmas Eve game vs Atlanta last year was hands down the loudest, most crowd involved game since the 2011 season. It was awesome, and brought me back to all of the above moments.

The NFC championship is hard to top, but I'm sorry I really think I agree with the dome re-opening against ATL.

That was just so electric and probably surreal.

Hakim drops the ball was exciting, but the ATL game was just a whole different level of awesome and what it represented. This was something that brought so many communities together. We gained such a huge fan base here. I know many joke about "bandwagon fans," but I really welcome everyone who started supporting the Saints here. It felt so great winning that game against your biggest rival. It felt more than just winning a football game. I think it gave people hope and something to also look forward to. Idk, I would just love to be apart of that moment more than any other.

That Philly playoff game that same year was pretty special to. I remember who dat chanting around some apartments with random strangers.

I was at the 09 game vs New England. I knew we were winning the Super Bowl after that game. I just knew it!
