Went to all the Katrina games in Tiger Stadium. They were strange. The response of a large portion of Baton Rouge to the idea of the Saints playing in “sacred” Tiger Stadium was very unwelcoming.
The games were bad. The feeling that we were seeing the last of the Saints in Louisiana was on so many fans minds. It was on mine, for sure.
I left the last game, drove home to my tiny apartment and wept because I thought that was it.
It was a pretty awful time.
