THAT , mon ami, is ONE HECK OF A BOLD STATEMENT of COMMITMENT to Our TEAM and one which I would say HAS GOT TO BE close to or THE record! I mean , over the years, everyone has “life” happen to them where they simply can’t or aren’t up to making it happen but YOU! WOW ! I wonder if you’ve heard back from any of the MODS about that being an attendance record or not? I’d be interested to know ( even though you probably can’t verify you really DID make all of those appearances ) your age and if you knew the “Way Into” the old Tulane Stadium off of that back street with the hole which was dug just deep enough to slide through on your back and had the grass so that you could replace it so no one could even “Notice it”? That’s the spot I used back in those days of catching the bus from Arabi all the way uptown to the Stadium and if it was or had rained? You had to take your shirt off to clean it so you looked half-way presentable or brought an extra shirt OR used a jacket which you could take off. Many a time I wore a jersey and just skinned my way under the chain-link fence, wiped my back off with the jersey turned inside out , turned it right side out before putting it back on and no one the wiser! I LOVED Growing up in a town where doing things like that were both common place and even acceptable behavior in my neighborhood! We were all the better for it and got to see some miserable games but I WAS there for Tom Dempsey’s NFL RECORD Field Goal WIN against Detroit~! That had to be the highlight of my fence burrowing days for sure. Cheers to ALL of those loyal SAINTS FANS who just needed to be there and a part of those games one way or another! Even if it meant breaking a few rules along the way! Wish I knew of a great way to enter The SUPERDOME these days as I’d come to town more often for games instead of leaning on friends who do invite me often but to catch EVERY home-game requires a bit more ingenuity of ways to get in free somehow which makes the games just that much more special to me! GEAUX SAINTS GEAUX! Your attendance record astounds me as we MUST be age contemporaries meaning your Dad or someone else in your family must have been huge fans bringing you to games when we both we young! Right?Damn, thats about 520 games, give or take.
