re: Any tips for a first time visitor to a Saints game?

Thinking you are on the right track. You are in the quarter, so after mass, just follow the Saints crowd. Lot of great restaurants serving brunch so no problem for food.

I would order your “tops”on line before you get on the plane. Best quality at Rivals.com & cheap crap at fanatics.com.

The Tiger - Bama game is one of, if not the biggest rivalry in college ball, so be prepared for a very rowdy crowd. Of you walk the big tailgater area, just say, “hi” in your best British accent and you will not have to buy a cocktail & have more food than you can eat.

Pass a good time Cher !
