Mousy definitely dances at every game in the aisle next to the visitor's tunnel during the break after the 3rd quarter while the joke saintsations are on the field.

That brings back childhood memories for me. My family had season tickets for almost 5 years and I looked forward to pick up games in the ramps each week. You can see why we stopped buying the tickets.

I was at that game. That was crazy.



I was at that game too.

Was Crazy George just a Saints thing? I thought I saw him at a Houston Astro's game too.

Well then I'll go just outside the dome.

Does anybody remember the vendors who had grocery carts full of football pennants after the games from like 1985-1993?

That was always one of my greatest pleasures is that I could pick a new pennant for $2 after each game.

I had a shitload of USFL pennants from Breaker games and about half the NFL teams from Saints games. That ended late in the Mora era for some reason - I think $4 pennants (adjusted for inflation) would still sell today. Those things probably looked gaudy as hell all tacked up around my bedroom.

1. People getting hit by paper airplanes from the upper decks. I used to be amazed how these would somehow hit someone in an empty Dome while we were down 4 TDs to the Bills at halftime.



I remember one year the Breakers at halftime drove a brand new truck out to the 50 yardline, and everybody had been given a few sheets of paper with lines to put your name, number, and address on.

At halftime you'd take your papers and fold them into an airplane and throw them towards the truck... anybody who got their airplane to land in the truck's window (or bed, I can't remember I was fricking 5) won the truck. I remember watching the people in the 2nd quarter obsess over their folding and how they could possibly get it to fly far enough to reach the truck. It was cool seeing all the airplanes thrown at one time more or less, and to see how some actually got pretty close.

Seems like there always were fights in the stands that were often more entertaining than the action on the field. I can't remember one in the last two years

I was there for that game, I think it was against the 49ers....I remember seeing it smoking and then flaming from the speakers at the top of the dome before it finally dropped to the field and they ran out there swatting at it with towels..

My father always laughs because he said when he first brought me to the games I was like 5 and he was waiting for me to finish pissing and I was still at the age when I pulled my pants to the floor to piss so there was a line of grown men then my little white arse in the middle

dominos pizza because reginelli replaced them in 2010... i had an awesome dominos at the carolina game in week 17 '08, but the reginellis at the minnesota game week 1 last season tasted like cardboard. local isn't always better.

also have a few more high school games in the dome... it's one of the few stadiums i haven't seen chalmette in. now you'll say "make it to state" but they used to play in the dome for regular season back in the day
