So, Were the Players Ticked Off by the Booing?

Compared to the the old days when we wore bags and called them the Aints, this generation of ticket holders has a lot more financially riding on the team’s success. Tickets are exponentially more expensive and a lot of these boo birds are the same people who used to sell their tickets to opposing fans when the Saints were rolling. Many are taking a bath they can’t afford and they are stuck with tickets so they show up ready to boo.

And that pissed me off. I luckily met someone in Covington who sold me 2 season tickets for years at face value even though he could’ve got much more on the open market for them. While I met people across the country who had season tickets passed down to them and they just sold them every game for profit. I was on the waiting list for a decade.

To me there aren’t many more pleasures in life than getting a couple early morning cocktails, walking down Poydras and mixing with fans from both teams. Occasionally seeing a few Saints players leaving their team hotel. And getting to cheer and get crunk in the dome. I’m glad to know that the players still care. There was a season or two when it seemed like the fans cared much more than the players. Long story short. This is our team. The players and coaches come and go. None of them have been here as long as many fans and won’t be here in the future when those same fans are still here. Just my opinion.
