re: First Saints game you can remember going to

Can barely remember anything about the first game. Just hazy memories from when I was younger than 10 years old.
The first game I really remember was the season-ending game against the Rams the week before the Saints won their first playoff game (also against the Rams). Marshall Faulk ran all over the Saints and there was plenty of drama in our section caused by the apparently lone Rams fan mocking the Saints fans.

I remember in '97 & '98 being able to call the ticket office on Thursday and get tickets for that Sunday against the Falcons. Different days for sure.
I remember camping out at the Saints facility during the 2000 season to get $8.70 tickets for each home game. Those were some fun times.

First game was the Saints vs Jets when Kyle Turley ripped the dude's helmet off and come out of the pile and slung it across the field.

I remember watching this. Faulk punched on of our guys and the refs either missed it or ignored it. He should have been ejected and suspended for the playoff game. Didn't matter in the end, but I was furious.

Late 70's early 80's. OT versus Falcons. Deep snap went over Russel Ereben's (current federal prison inmate) head. He picked up in end zone and tossed to Falcons player. We lose.

I'm glad I was too young to remember those days. Although AB did pull of a few gems.

I really don't remember my first couple of years of going to Saints games. All I cared about was playing football on the ramps inside the Dome.

My first Saints game was a Sunday Night Game against the Redskins. Deuce jump over a defender and stretched out for the pylon for a score that led the Saints to a 10 - 0 lead. The place went freaking nuts and got so loud! It was awesome! But the Saints went on to lose 10 - 40 
It was an incredible experience but my most favorite (even though you didn't ask), is when I helped run the Punt, Pass and Kick competition and got to run out the tunnel with the players and the kids. I got to see Drew Brees' eyes prior to kick off and he definitely had his game face on!

1989. The season opener vs. the Cowboys. I was seven so my memories aren't that vivid. The Saints shutout the Cowboys 28-0. Dalton Hilliard and Ironhead Heyward scored TD's for the Saints. The Saints also ran back a punt for a TD later on the game.

Have we ever beat the Redskins at home? I can't ever remember beating them in New Orleans.

Good point, hopefully that trend will end this year.

Somebody beat this -- my first game was the Dempsey kick. My 2nd game was Archie's first game where he scored against the Rams on the last play.
I think my 3rd game was 62-7 versus the Dirty Birds.

I hope you are going to the SF game this year. We owe them some legendary payback for the playoff game.

Saints-49ers 1971 at Tulane Stadium, John Brodie was the qb. Have no recollection of which team won but I would assume it was 49ers.

I think it was December 1995 vs Atlanta. Morten Andersen beat the Saints with a field goal. If I'm remembering correctly. But a long time.

Went to a 49er game during the Ditka years when I was like 5 or 6. Dont remember much except we were clobbered and had a 4th and 40 at one point. This game was the first thing I thought of when we lifted the Lombardi.

I was just about to bring this game up. I was there and its one of the first games that I remember going too.

October 1991 versus the Bucaneers. The last win of our 7-0 start to open that season, as it turned out.

What a tough stretch for Saints football. Ugh.
