1943, Saints vs the Pottsville Maroons. Bill Brasky started at all 9 positions on the defensive line. That was back in the day when most teams ran a 9-1-1 defense since the forward pass had not yet been invented.

Was at the first game ever, September 17, 1067. Gilliam ran from right to left where we sat. Probably also a preseason game before that but I can't remember who it was against.

Dad had season tickets until first or second season in the Dome, even after we had moved to Lafayette. Boy, those were some long game days, driving down and back same day before I-10 was built, knowing they were probably going to lose.

When the Rams beat the Saints last game of the 2000 season. Wish I would have been there the next week instead.

Don’t remember the exact year, but it was the year that we played the Falcons and Dan Reeves had a heart attack on the sidelines.

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.



Same. I was 12. That game was hyped as the preview to the Super Bowl that year.

Saints VS. St.Louis Cardinals. Tulane Stadium 1974. I was 8. We had relatives come in from Kentwood, LA to see Jackie Smith (HOF TE for Cardinals). Cardinals were a playoff team and we shut them out 14-0. I remember my dad harassing my relatives after the game "The Big Red is DEAD!" Jackie Smith ended his career as a Cowboy and dropped the pass in the end zone against the Steelers in the Superbowl. The family was upset he dropped the pass, but as a kid I remember I was happy because my hate for the Cowboys went that far back.

I was very young so I don’t remember the year. But I remember my dad pointing out #32 for the Bills and saying he was famous.
The first game I really remember the whole game was 11/9/1986 vs the Rams. The Dome Patrol never let Jim Everett pass mid field in a 6-0 win. Anderson has two field goals. That’s was the last Saints game I went to with my dad.

Got you beat- I attended Saints-Falcons pre-season game on 9/9/1967 at Tulane Stadium. Fight broke out in the stands during the 4th Quarter, right in front of me & my Dad. Some Falcon fan was talking smack early on, but he didn't like it when someone gave him smack talk right back in the 4th Quarter when Saints made a comeback and ending up winning the game. Guess you can say we always had a rivalry with the Falcons, nothing has changed! Speaking of that 1967 season, I was only 10 years old, but still remember almost every game that year. We would always take a quick lead, then fall behind- story of the Saints that year. Some amazing halftime shows too!

My mom went into labor during a Saints game. Hence why I was born at Hotel Dieu. Does that count?

Dolphins 2005. It was like a weird dream seeing Saban coaching the Dolphins beating the Saints in Tiiger Stadium

Los Angeles Rams, 1973.

John Hadl was their quarterback. As a small kid, he fascinated me because of the spelling of his name (buy a damn vowel!) and his number, 21, which was unusual for a QB.
