I remember going to a game in Tulane Stadium before the Saints. I don't recall who was playing but it wasn't either of those games. I want to say Rams and Cardinals but that's just a guess. They were testing the market to see if there would be support for an NFL team in New Orleans.

Went to game in Tulane stadium in August of 66 to test NFL market potential when I was 12. St. Louis Cardinals with Jim Hart at QB v Baltimore Colts with Johnny Unitas at QB. Sold out stadium. Saints born later that year and began fall of 67.
