Had it been forty years ago, it likely would have been another answer, but I believe I would have regretted it knowing what I know now.

I see no advantage to giving up that passion for a few extra bucks in the bank.

Who says you can't root for the saints too?? Who knows, maybe I'll get paid for that 1 too.

While $10 million is a decent sum of money, it is not a life altering amount that would have me throw away 55 years of a given passion and then on top of that root for a team I have despised for most of my life. We reached a point, now 17 years ago, where we knew we could easily afford both the time and money to get season tickets and make the five plus hour drive to and from New Orleans. At that point we placed our name on the waiting list which was at that time over 50,000 names long. Our name finally came up prior to last season. As miserable as last season was it was still well worth the investment to be a part of the game day experience.

I get that for someone a good deal younger, with less of their life wrapped up in supporting the Saints, and at an earlier stage of financial stability, the allure of the money could completely alter their life and the sacrifice would be minimal in comparison. Heck, there have been several that have turned their backs on the Saints for something as trivial as politics.
