Going through some things my dad left me. He was a ticket saving geek as am I. I didn’t know these events took place. Anyone here in attendance?

Somehow you pulled off starting another thread with a blank title. Not even a period in the title. I've never seen that before.

Possibly were preseason games?

Those are actually really cool. I believe the NFL played games in NOLA to test out the market.

I remember going to the Oilers vs Patriot game in 1962. Saw Billy Cannon play for the Oilers.

The AFL played their All-Star game here in the 60’s. (Pre-Saints)
Black players got angry because of segregated hotels and the league moved it elsewhere eventually.

Longtime KC Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt very nearly had a New Orleans connection. The Chiefs started as the Dallas Stars and when they moved after the 1962 season, Hunt was interested in New Orleans and Tulane Stadium. I don't know how accurate this is but I've read where Tulane shot down the idea because at that time, they didn't want to share the stadium with a pro football team.
Just think...had that come to pass, New Orleans would be playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The 1963 NFL double header exhibition games contributed to the league awarding NOLA the franchise.
I attended these games at Tulane Stadium - driving rain during a portion of the time, but got to see some great players on those four teams:
