Cherish your days in NOLA. I live in Spokane and it's pretty awful being so far from the Saints. No radio or local coverage, no fellow Who Dats to watch the game with and no Saints gear anywhere. It's just me and my family surrounded by millions of Seahawks fans.
Do you have family/good friend in N.O.?
If so, you REALLY need to buy them a Slingbox. While the quality isn't "great" especially when you blow it up to 65", it beats anything else (other than Sunday Ticket).
PLUS, you get to watch all the pre-game stuff on WVUE (and the other channels), as well as the wrap up show. Of course, on Mondays, watching Jim Henderson's comments are a must.

before that - Shoal Creek would fill up, and thats about it...but that is one tiny place, even after they expanded, it's still a tiny little room. But, there wasnt really enough Saints fans to warrant branching out, finding a 2nd, bigger place, etc. Plus, Shoal Creek had been that S LA hangout since before I moved here in '98 - it's got a loyal following from those that have been here for decades. That's never going to change.
But, once all the displaced settled in, the number of Saints fans exploded. And, on Sunday afternoons, West 6th is a much more enjoyable place to be over S. Lamar anyway.

There are two Saints bars in NYC that are fun. One is packed with Saints/Vikings fans. It was awesome for a while, but it got out of hand during the Super Bowl season. Another is more casual. Probably like 15-20 people but mostly Saints fans.

how in the hell can one enjoy his team in an out of town bar? yeeaaah, i just hate sports bars period!

We don't really have much of a choice. It's a bar or nothing.

Man I'm excited about Austin. Saints bars just seal the deal

I don't know what I'm gonna do now that I've moved to Florida.
Anybody know of any good Saints bars in the Ft Lauderdale area?

Sunday ticket here in hawaii. Get up at 6:00 and watch the game & eat breakfast with a beer about 7 or 8 am depending on when in the season it is. Best part is going to be having all day to do stuff afterwards.
Yep. Games start at 7am and you can still have a pretty eventful Sunday after.

Grew up in and around BR. Lived on Jennifer Jean as a boy (1/2 mile from campus) while they were building Burbank. I would play on campus until my Dad got off work, hit him up for a buck or two and go to a little burger place at the entrance to Tigerland (cant remember the name). Graduated from BRHS and even tried a semester at LSU but I wasnt ready for college. Got my degree elsewhere many years later after a term in the Navy.
For the OP: I have direct TV and hit an away game in TB now and again...but the TB experience is not great.

All of my life, games have started at 12:00, and I always wondered how weird it would be if I they came on at 10:00. 7:00...............o_O

10 sucks.
Posted on 5/14/13 at 8:52 am to DelU249
1 is great. Gives you plenty of time to get some things done before the game and then get to wherever you're watching it.
Posted on 5/14/13 at 9:04 am to TotesMcGotes
I guess I wouldn't mind 1:00. I usually don't get out of church until 12:30, so unless I leave right away and head home, I typically miss the first quarter of games.
I love where I live, though. I'm 4 hours from New Orleans, so Saints games are always on, and I don't have to live in Louisiana. Cake and I'm eating it.

Heading for central Illinois and about 2 hours from Eastern Illinois University (CSP's stomping grounds) in one week. I picked up an eight foot team flag yesterday and am ready to represent. The positive I find in the move is the # of NFC teams in proximity (STL, CHI, GB, MIN, DET) as well as IND. Have the opportunity to drive East and see stadiums that I would NEVER go see from here! Hoping to get a game someday w/ my pops in Pitt.

Did it for 5 years, but I made 3-4 games every year so I got my fix. It helped having a Saints bar where I lived and it was a huge plus we were good at the time. Lots of national TV games.

Austin
I'd be willing to bet money there is a bar somewhere in Austin that is crawling with Who Dat's on gameday. It's close enough to NOLA and it's a very liberal city. I could see a lot of them giving 2 craps about the Cowboys/Texans.

then you must not see very well
it's about 80/20 Cowboys:Texans.....and that 80% is the most nauseating 80% alive, it's sickening
the other NFL Fan bases here that make a little noise:
Saints
Packers
Vikings
Eagles
Titans
no other fanbase around town really makes an impression

What sucks is waking up and then having to wait 3-4 hours before games start at noon. I can watch games at 7 and 10 and it's about 1pm after a beautiful morning of non-stop NFL package 
Then you can go do a few things before SNF. Go bbq, to the park, store, friend's house, frick your girl, whatever.
I thought I'd hate early arse games too but now I'm hooked. When I visit NOLA I go crazy waiting for the games to start
