Glad I could help. And I better clarify this cursing out situation. Of course when the gates opened, there was a mob to get in. Which was cool. I waited my time in line like everyone else. My pops and I split up cause he had his buddy's ticket and was waiting for him, and I couldn't wait to get in. So, after about 30-45 minutes, or what seemed like that long, I finally get in. Walk the concourse to my level. Well, on the top level, folks were trying to get concessions before they got to their seats, and there was the surge of people anxious to see the dome, and people were trying to actually get to their seats. So as you can imagine, it was a cluster cluck, and no one was moving, period. So myself and a couple of guys I didn;t even know but who were around me just said let's go out into the stadium, and walk around to our seats that way. The stadium was still pretty empty at this point cause no one was moving. So we do just that, and since the Superdome isn't made with a walkway around the stadium except in certain parts, we had to cross through the seats. So myself and these three other guys are crossing this row, and we get to the last 4 seats of the row and the lady closest to up stands up, points her fingers and says Oh no we are not letting ya'll through. Now, it's just four of us, and this is the end of the row, so the guy in front asks why not. She gave some song and dance about them having to wait through the people, and yatta yatta. So we were like lady, it's just four of us, Just stand aside and we can get right through. She goes on and on about how we were gonna have to knock her down to get through and all this nonsense. So, as a last ditch effort, I said ma'am, we are all Saints fans here. The concourse isn't moving, can you let us through. She got even louder. SO at that point, the guy in front took her seat, lowered it, stepped on it, stepped on her jacket on the back of her seat, and crossed to the next row up. We all followed suit with a couple of profanities left in our wake. No one else acted that way, and the pre-game show wasn't close to starting yet. Crazy.
