re: First Saints Game for my son

Every game I park my car at the Park and Ride at 928 Howard Ave, New Orleans, LA 70113. Its 20$, you can pay with your card they will charge you 10$ twice at the kiosk, for the day and a secure and safe part of town. Its close enough to the stadium a short 10 minute walk through lots of people tailgating. Best part is I have never parked there and not left the parking garage after a game and been back on I-10 headed home within 20 minutes. Easy acces going and coming into that garage. Anywhere closer to the dome youre spending 40$ to park and its a nightmare to get out after. Champions Square is fun before the game. 2 hours before kickoff there is always a Saints player from the past signing autographs for fans at the Saints HOF inside the dome. You can find out who that player is few days before the game on the Saints app or website under "Game Day Guide". Going to "The Office" bar which your son can get into inside the dome is cool to see Mr. Benson's office as it was set up at the Saints facility in Metairie. If you go in really early and go down to the 100 level near section 125 or so I believe in the corner is where the players and coaches enter the field for warmups you can usually get some autographs.
