I got the Saints Now newsletter and there is a pep rally with the Coach and Players Friday:

Dear XXX,

Come out to the fan rally Friday to get ready for Monday night!

In response to a flood of phone calls from fans across the region who want to stage an event to show their support for the team, the New Orleans Saints are holding a fan rally on Friday, Sept. 21 at the club’s training facility in Metairie, it was announced today by Owner Tom Benson.

“I must say this was both unexpected and I think you could say expected,” said Owner Tom Benson. “We are all working to get a win for our fans and get them excited. And at the same time our fans always provide that enthusiasm when we need it the most, and all of the phone calls we’ve gotten here today have shown that again. The rally we have Friday will be for them, and for us.”

Gates will open at 3 p.m. for the rally, and their will be concessions, a live band as well as a performance by the Saintsations. Head Coach Sean Payton and players will address the fans, though there will be no autograph signings during the event. The event will end at 5:30 pm. Open to the public, free of charge.

I'm in Los Angeles so I can't make it, but if we have enough fans show their support and love for the Saints it could pay off huge Monday night and for the rest of the season.

And somebody please yell "Put in Simmons!" at the Coach....in a nice way.
