Props to SaintSarah for the idea. It deserved its own thread, I think. I'll compile the rules here so that we may all abide, whether I agree or not. I may change some formatting and arrange the rules in proper order. With no further ado:

I do want to understand the "Real Fan" checklist.


Since this started the conversation, I'll put it first to help start you out.

1. Not sit in the Club Level or in a Suite for games.

All Saints fans be aware. Violations of the following rules will result in revocation of your fan cards and placement in "bandwagon" status.

UPDATE!!!1!!!11!! *_deuce_* has made us a wallpaper so that we can all have the list close at hand...thanks to *_deuce_* for helping us all be better fans! Wallpaper!

1. Not sit in the Club Level of the Superdome for games.
2. Always, always, always despise the Falcons.
3. Never, ever tell someone to sit down in the Dome.
4. Do not drink Corona or margaritas.
5. Never boo your own team.
6. If you must sell your tickets, NEVER sell them to fans of opposing teams.
7. Stand up.
8. Get crunk.
9. Who Dat chant when in enemy territory.
10. Don't wear LSU gear, you are attending a Saints game for goodness sakes.
11. Know a little pre-Super-Bowl Saints history.
12. Do not suggest that the Saints sign long-retired players with the idea that they can make some contribution, or make ridiculous grandiose statements about their value.
13. Have conflicting feelings about Bobby Hebert.
14. Floss after eating ribs at a tailgate :)shrug:)
15. Name your first son after a member of the Saints organization.
16. You will be hoarse the morning after a home game. Watching at home is no excuse.
17. Even if you're half way around the world, it's 4am and all you have is the radio broadcast of the Saints game, you stay up and listen and imagine the rest.
18. Real Fans don't tailgate before a game in their Mini-Suvs with the A/C on, ala Bucs fan.
19. If you're going to complain about the team or players, just stay home.
20. Do not stay home.
21. Don't be a grammar nazi on your own teams football forum. (grumble)
22. You must have a pet named after a Saints player/mascot. No pets = not a fan.
23. Never tuck in your jersey.
24. The camp beast is beyond reproach. You will love him. He WILL record record numbers of ____.
25. You will decorate your vehicle and house like a Saints Christmas tree. The less tacky, the less fan.

36. Be behind your team 100%, 100% of the time.
37. Believe that your team tries their hardest on every play.

40. Do not assume that Payton "doesn't like" Reggie. Period.
41. Never wear an Aaron Brooks jersey.
42. Deuce jerseys are okay.
43. When speaking of the rules, you will be honest when stating your compliance.
44. Claim to have been present for John Gilliam's KR TD. Even if you weren't born yet.

52. Never say that any team "dominates" the Saints. This is strictly forbidden.
53. Rule 49 was wrong. Slap yourself for believing it.

<!-- / message --><!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
 
3. Drink Corona or margaritas.

I assumed that you meant a real fan does NOT do these things.

If this is incorrect please clarify, so that the tablets may be carved correctly.
 
When the time comes....STAND UP AND GET CRUNK!!!!
Also pregame Who Dat!!'s especially in enemy territory is a must!
 
The only time I boo the Saints is when we have a chance for a 50 burger by needing one more touchdown and SP starts running the ball 3 times then punts :worthy:
 
Know a team member by jersey number that doesn't include #9 or #12
Know the name of anyone on the o-line.
 
Know a team member by jersey number that doesn't include #9 or #12
Know the name of anyone on the o-line.

Permission to inscribe this rule as the following?

"Know the name of a Saints player that the average nine-year-old girl would not."
