Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints
October 2, 1983
Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, LA

Was amazing to see legend Kenny Stabler beat Dan Marino 17-7. That Saints team had Wayne Wilson, Dalton Hilliard, George Rogers, Hokie Gajan, and Hoby Brenner.

A good friend of the family (who's since deceased) offered to take me to the game free of charge. Had breakfast at the Hyatt before the game. My dad was very ill at the time, so it was an amazing gesture that I will always remember.

Saints Falcons 2003. Amazing game. The dome was insane. Come back from 17 down, deuce fumbling on the goal line, ATL driving back to miss the GW field goal, only for Deuce to break loose to win in OT.

Saints versus either the Patriots or Dolphins in 1986. They were back to back weeks I think.

I also remember Breaker games from that same time - I was equally excited for Saints and Breakers and didn’t really understand the difference between them.

Saints vs. Bills in '92. Bills beat us 20-16.

I was 8, and remember being freaked out because we sat in the very last row in the corner of the terrace. Also remember a ton of people smoking cigs in their seats back then.

Saints vs Rams in 67. Missed Gilliams return though. My dad always got us to the game after kickoff.

Early 90s - we were playing frisco (I think) and the rafters of the dome on caught on fire because of the pyrotechnics during halftime


Technically it wasn’t my ‘first’ game there, but definitely the first game that I can remember vividly.. I was probably 6-7 and thought the place was coming down

Vs. the Colts last year. Got the tix way in advance and lucked out that it ended up being the record-setting game!
