It’s taken 39 years, but the Saints are finally back over .500 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Sunday’s victory gave the team a 149-148 record in the regular season in the building they’ve called home since 1975.

The only other time in team history when they were better than .500 in the ’Dome was in that inaugural season. After losing the home opener to Cincinnati, the Saints defeated Green Bay and Atlanta in their next two home games, the latter one coming in Ernie Heffelie’s debut as head coach after John North was fired.

But the Saints lost their last four home games of 1975 and their first three in 1976 under new coach Hank Stram, and they’ve been playing catch-up ever since, including the current nine-game home winning streak.

“How about that?” said tackle Zach Strief. “You know, that was not brought up to us in meetings this week.

“It sounds like we had to do a lot of wining lately to get there.”

Actually, yes, The Saints are now 47-18 at home in the Sean Payton era.

Overall record 318-402. Might take a while to reach .500 on that one.
