I went to a couple…weird times man

Yes. I cashed in my entire season ticket package on one game just to get everyone I knew there. Half the crowd was LSU homers cheering for Saban. The tailgating and camaraderie was great. The game and stadium experience was awful.

Saw them play the Dolphins after Katrina. Terrible.

Watched the saints play the bears. Almost died sitting in that heat eating sausages and drinking beer. Rough experience

I was at the Miami game. Lots of “Save Our Saints” stuff everywhere and Tom’s infamous mad dash out of the stadium after the game. Sad, hopeful and memorable memories. Whodat

That's the game we had the big Save Our Saints tailgate, right?

Yup... The person who was supposed to bring the grill cancelled, but we found a grill leftover from the LSU game that someone had left to pick up later. We grabbed it, I hit the convenience store up the street to buy charcoal and an hour later we were cooking!

Think we did two games at Tiger stadium, but that is the only one I remember and I don't really remember the end or being driven home.

Saints vs. Bears in 2005. IIRC it was the game where were held our "Save our Saints" gathering. The gathering (Tailgating) was beyond great, but the game was a bummer! Tiger Stadium is not the most comfortable venue for watching games either. Especially if you suffer from that Roman condition like I do... what's it called... Oh Yeah... "Flattious Assious".

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.

For some reason, I get a sense that Baton Rouge hates NOLA and the Saints.

Was at all the ones they played in 2005. Man, time flies. Initial reaction, wished we were in the dome. Man, we really suck! And this feels surreal like I’m not even watching a Saints game, absolutely hated the experience. I had buried those memories years ago, thanks for bringing them back
