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.

From above article: "The league also voted to strip teams' ability to protect any home games from international play. Previously, teams could protect two games." Anyone with a pulse and that could do a small bit of research would have known to PROTECT: 1) Steelers and 2) Packers. Especially the Steelers with common knowledge that Aaron Rodgers was returning for one more game in the Dome before his retirement.. Gayle Benson and her Advisors instead decided to pick the upside of having the NFL pick the top traveling Steelers and having a "lottery", 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. Another example on the Benson regime choosing Personal Profits over what would have been a nice economic boost for the city + some fan service to Saints loyal season ticket holders.
Now that’s a lot of emotion for a Ham Sandwich

Or we could just not have stupid international games.

This really keep you up at night?
Posted on 5/21/26 at 7:16 pm to UncleLester
Or having the dome taken over by steelers fans

This should have zero bearing on the decision.
It sounds like that’s what you wanted. Go to a Steelers game in Pittsburgh.
