like they supposedly did when they hosted the Super Bowl and were allotted some tickets for Season Ticket holders as camouflage knowing that they could offload their whole allotment of Steelers Paris Tickets to brokers for 5X their face value.


So they did all of this to make a few thousand?

Also, who gives a shite about Aaron Rodgers coming back to the dome for a last time.

No one gives a frick about watching Rodgers play with a walker, or the Packers, at all.

Sorry about your ticket sales.


I don't think this has anything to do with it. As a STH I'd rather lose my ticket to the Saints vs Browns than to the Steelers game. The fans should be the first consideration when it comes to this because without the fans there is no NFL.

IMO, this would be a legitimate gripe if the home team was allowed to choose which team they want to face in the international games. When your options are the 3 division opponents, Clev, GB, LV, Pitt, Minn & AZ and you can only protect 2; there is a good chance you are going to lose a good opponent you'd rather see in the dome.

With this slate, if you protect Pitt & GB, you most likely lose a division opponent. So you have to pick your battles and decide what's best for the team/fans

Get ahead of what? Dumbasses on Saints Rant? Some of you people take the idiots in here way to seriously.

No, what's best for the team should be the first consideration. The most important home games are division games, then conference games, and last non-conference games. If you are to lose a home game, the best to lose would be a game against an AFC opponent, which is what happened.

I don't give a shite about all of that. What I hate about it is the Steelers are scheduled to play in New Orleans once every 8 years


Exactly. They kinda pissed on the fans and season ticket holders. It’s rare we ever see the Steelers. Wish they’d play Carolina overseas, it’s hard to give those tickets away even when we winning.

Get a grip dude. Carolina made the playoffs and they’re in division

Who gives a shite if you can make a couple hundred bucks when you sell the tickets because that’s really why you’re bitching

There are international games now, it is a thing. For obvious reasons the Saints would want to be in the first game in Paris as we have a fleur de lis as our logo. Quit your bitching.

Nah, I’d go see Rodgers one last time. If I still had my extra tickets, I’d be livid. I usually sell one of the other set of my seats. Gave those up last year since I figured it’ll take years to climb out of the mess Loomis put us in.

I feel sorry for the people who sit next to you at the games that you do go to. Hearing your constant negativity and “told you so’s” on here, I can’t imagine what it would be like at a live event.

I disagree. My first thought was that this guy is upset he can’t sell his tickets to Steeler and Packer fans.

The Rams don’t have many fans.
