You'll fall in love with the 2 hot chicks that started showing up wearing Archie's throw back jersey.

There is a Hooters 3 doors down but I find this place far more better for watching the games.

I used to hit Pine St. all the time. There's a good, cheap taco place across from the Hooter's (used to eat lunch there a lot). Don't know if Aladdin's is still there but they have good eats and hooka. If you guys haven't been to Isaac's Cafe on Fries Ave. in Wilmington (about 5 min from Pine St. on Aneheim) you MUST get a Carne Asada or Jones Burrito from him...best food in all of L.A.

I hope as our team enjoys success, Saints fans show more class than some of the other professional sports franchise fan bases have shown...

I second this thought. I can sit up in the Terrace, and roar for my team, without being a jerk to visiting fans, come a way a winner, and have more fun. Those visiting fans are spending money, helping ensure the survival of my favorite city, and hopefully I can visit their stadium & not get snowballed. I want them to visit Lousiana, and have a great time, except that their team loses, and next year, when they're budgeting road games, we're #1 on their itinerary. Also, I like the way fans
in other cities not in our division seem to like us. I'd like to keep it that way.

"But they do it to us" is a sorry excuse. Ever notice how every city's fans are extra motivated when their team plays Philly or the Raiders? I'll bet if you asked their players, they would say, "We like all the yelling and rowdiness, but wish our fans would reel in the over-the-line behavior."

If we play the Bears in the playoffs, I'm not gonna abuse their fans, but I
might wear some styrofoam "yellow snowballs" just to make a statement about their fans behavior.

Lets be winners in every way.

Boom. High five dude... I feel the same way. You know what, when people see 'New Orleans' on their team's schedule, they circle it. They call their buddies and plan a trip, they talk it up all year, they drink, they eat and they party. Me, personally, I'm happy to see other teams' fans in NO, bc they are contributing to the preservation of one fine city!

As a matter of fact, last week I hugged a Giants fan (and his hot wife) and gave them a few local spots to enjoy. I handed them a card and said "call me if you need anything"... Now that's New Orleans!

Well said. It doesn't hurt us that if a fan has the money to travel to one away game a year, most times it's going to be New Orleans. Let them come down and spend their money. Miami wasn't as welcoming.

My dad and I watched the end of the Steeler game with 3 Dolphin fans that we just met, and had a great time. Once in our seats it was a little different.
Who yells "Saints Suck" when the team is 5-0, and you see them once every 8 years?

My other takeaway was the amazing amount of foot traffic at the game- there were people going up and down the steps constantly, getting up in the middle of plays, standing in the aisle talking on their cells phones. Sit down and watch the damn game, or at least let me watch it.

Where were you sitting? Almost sounds like where I was in 402.

I got way too drunk on Sunday. After watching the first half, me and Tony just started downing pitchers. But, in our drunken stupor, we both decided to stick to our guns, and not give up the game. Thank God we didn't, because honestly, this was the best game I've seen the Saints play all year.

Now I do owe an apology to a bartender, and a customer there, as after WAY more beer, we started making fun of soccer. I hate soccer, but I had no right to upset the people that like it. So, I will be apologizing bigtime on Monday night.
