He's gonna **** his drawers when he hears our crowd.

It was late. The Bucs game will be big if we beat the Cowboys.

What an cool thing to accomplish... hopefully I'll have the chance to do something like this one day. Kudos to you.

Hey all, thanks for the words of encouragement and all the adviceon what to do. That's always the biggest challenge is trying to figure out what folks do on gameday. I have a Marques Colston Jersey, the wife will be wearing Reggie Bush. There's no particular reason NOLA was last, it just kinda worked out that way. this weekend I'm in Baltimore and Washington for a double-header. I gues I'll be drving into a snow storm tommorow. Really looking forward to getting down to NewOrleans. If you see me o the street pull me aside. I'll be sure to watch out for the shoe guys ... that seems kinda weird and I'll keep oming to your board. You guys have an incredible thing going on down there with the undefeated season. Enjoy it!

Don't get talked to into buying any of the "ladies" on Bourbon St. any of those $15 champagne cocktails. (Unless you're into that kind of thing.)

As part of my immersive study on the home team experience, I show up early on gameday, tailgate with local fans, eat local foods, and wear a home team jersey to rally the home team to victory. After each visit, I summarize my weekend in an online stadium review which I then post on the website, www.nflfootballstadiums.com.

I will complete my four year journey in New Orleans at the Louisiana Superdome on December 27, 2009 when the Tampa Bay Bucs come to town. It will be my 31st and final Stadium on my NFL Journey. I was wondering if you might recommend some superb New Orleans Saints Tailgating outside the Superdome or some gameday traditions I need to make sure I check in on while I’m in town, considering that my aim is to truly appreciate the home team experience. It's been a long road but I look forward to completing the journey this year. Do most Saints fans dress up in costume for the games?

theres the gotsaints club puts on a awesome tailgate every game 10 bucks all you can eat allways kick ass eating look under the ramp at poydras i think

Very Cool. Thanks for the tip. So do most Saints fans just hit the bar area before the game? What time do they open? With folks dressing up in costume, what kinds of costumes do they wear? Any themes, like the Raider wear lots of skulls, that sort of thing?

Good Stuff. I'm really bummin' you guys couldn't pull out the win on on Saturday. Maybe it's for the best, though. With that monkey off your back, the Saints can get to the business of winning a World Championship. Still trying to convince the wife that leaving Detroit on Christmas Day Eve is a "good" idea, but we'll be down there in plenty of time for kickoff.
