THE SUPERDOME WAS STILL SOLD OUT for that season.

And Breesfan27 is right, other teams who stink STEAL the paper bag idea from New Orleans.
Just adding something to what Halo posted....yeah, but N.O.Saints fans have always been there even during the Aint's time and paper bag times.
Every year in the spring when that envelope would come in the mail about renewing season tickets, so many fans would go on and renew. I personally know of this.
