re: What was the first Saints game you attended in person?

Saints VS. St.Louis Cardinals. Tulane Stadium 1974. I was 8. We had relatives come in from Kentwood, LA to see Jackie Smith (HOF TE for Cardinals). Cardinals were a playoff team and we shut them out 14-0. I remember my dad harassing my relatives after the game "The Big Red is DEAD!" Jackie Smith ended his career as a Cowboy and dropped the pass in the end zone against the Steelers in the Superbowl. The family was upset he dropped the pass, but as a kid I remember I was happy because my hate for the Cowboys went that far back.
