Since I was 4 years old ... So, that's 28 years now ... I've loved us through it all!!!

I love, however, how now that they are winning (and I continue to wear Saints stuff) ... NOW everyone thinks I jumped the bandwagon ... Chuckle heads.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

I have been a fan since the beginning. I've been with them through the lows, which far out weigh the highs. This is the year of vindication.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

20 years this year!

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

Been a fan since 1999 when I spent a year as an exchangestudent in Louisiana. Havn't been trough the dark times as you oldies but Haslett and Brooks was bad enough for me.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

I always watched football as a child, started to understand it around 1976. So, that is the time I guess I officially became a true Saints fan. Yes, lots of painful memories... LOL

20-40+

Season ticket holder while growing up. Started in 1973 in Tulane Stadium. Opened up the Spuerdome.

Lost touch for a while in college. Too broke and too busy to follow.

Picked up with a vengance after finishing. Attending Saints games in Atlanta, traveling to New Orleans for December and playoff games in the 80's and the 90's.

Was there for the first playoff game in the Superdome against the ViQueens.

Was there when Hakeem dropped the ball.

Flew to Chicago for the NFC championship. It was freezing that day.

Going to see the beatdown of the 'clowns today.

Certainly hope to spend a balmy weekend in Miami in early February whether I can get into the game or not.

I've said it before on this board, but I didn't start out being a Saints fan. I was a Steelers fan until 1986 when I really started following the Saints. That was Jim Mora's first year as head coach. I haven't looked back since. I've always had black blood but I just switched out the yellow for something a little more valuable....a lot of GOLD!

Bout 27 yrs...since Bum...

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

My 1st grade classmate's father was an original minority shareholder in the Saints, so we went to games that 1st season and had season tickets until the mid 80's when I moved away. I guess that's 43 years.

Now I'm depressed.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

Big Salute to the longtime Tulane Stadium guys, like Xan, Saintlyone, SFIAH, and my good friend, SupeDome, along with many others.

I'm in the 20-40 category.
26 years.

I was a Bum Refugee, and of course, hit it off well with Louisiana.
I'm not a native, but neither were the guys who died defending the
Alamo, and you cant really question their dedication.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

I really started following the Saints in the mid 70s.....man has it been that long!?!?!

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

And to that point- Fred Barnette just scored again over Toi Cook

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

Oh I was saying 22 years- since I was 11 going on 12. BTW there is two of these things

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

I was born on Nov. 3rd 1989 and was a saints fan since then.... I had no choice I raised to love them ha ha (Thanks Grandpa) ! WHO DAT !

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

I've been on the bandwagon since we moved off of stone wheels...

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

hahaha AWESOME!

They tried to make me an Eagles fan- I wouldn't let em, lol

I did see the coolest thing at the Skins game- there was a father and his son, and his son was all decked out in skins gear with a skins helmet and all. I thought that was awesome

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

Been a fan since I was born. 28 years. WHO DAT!

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

Since early 90's toward the end of the Dome Patrol days

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

21 Years. The worst time in my mind was when Ditka was there.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

I'm tempted to say since birth but technically I've only been rooting them since I was old enough to actually follow football which was probably when I was about 7 or 8.

Either way it still puts me in the 20-40 range. Geez I'm an old bat. But from the responses in here, I'm not the only one :)

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

since Billy Kilmer was steering the offense

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

20-40 fits me.. GEAUX SAINTS !!! 1970 born in metairie la ! WHAT a season !

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

Sice Archie and been a season ticket holder since 1997.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

Been a fan since before they started playing and was at the very first game.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

All the way since before the regular season even began!

Actually, 30plus years.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

2002 was the first year I really began following saints football, wasnt' really a football fan until then I always loved baseball but started that season watching with a buddy of mine been hooked ever since so I guess I missed most of the lows well all except the '05 season which worked out well because i was deployed to iraq so really couldn't follow all that closely so avoided alot of the pain!

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

before they started playing this year or what?

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

Since I was there when Tom Dempsey kicked that 63 yarder!! I will NEVER forget Tulane Stadium and how it exploded with cries of 'GO, SAINTS, GO! as me and my family traveled down the old cement ramps!!

What a childhood memory! Billy Kilmer throws and Danny Abramowitz crashing into the bushes in the endzone!!!

What a sweet, sweet year 2009!!!

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
 

See my signature. That adds up to 19 years.

Re: You've been a Saint's fan for how long . . .
