I absolutely love the city and the people are always friendly. I have heard from a lot of Redskins fans about the experience from the Superdome, but I would like to get some Saints perspectives.

We plan on hitting Bourbon St. on Friday and Saturday nights wearing our jerseys. Is this asking for trouble? Or is it something that could maybe spark some beers and friendly discussion/ light trash talking (in the spirit of fun of course) about the game the next day? How is the walk to the Superdome?

I am really looking forward to visiting one of my favorite cities and having a good time meeting new people. Cheers!

Wearing your jerseys definitely will not be a problem unless you're sensitive to good natured trash talking. Start out at Pat Obriens with a hurricane and then just bar hop. Nights before games are always a blast.

I always walk to the SuperDome from the Quarter. It's about a mile and is always a fun walk. The only problem is that it will probably be pretty hot.

Nice... apparently Johnny Whites is going to give us a balcony and let us decorate it with Skins crap Saturday night.

Sounds like fun. I'll drop by and holler up at you after I have my hurricane at Pat Obriens!

Looking at my tickets, a buddy of mine has me worried. Section 107 row 31. Some seats down in FedEX in the corners are what we call "the cave" It can be a bit obstructed with the over hang and crap like that. Anybody ever sit near there?

I have (I think). Last year when we destroyed the Giants I sat there. Seats aren't bad. It's weird having the overhang, but there are also flat screen TVs right in front of you (assuming we are talking about the same area).

Re: Opening Day Sept 9 Skins @ Saints

Nah, you should be okay.

Check this out (obviously, click on "NFL" and then "Saints"

Ballena Technologies, Inc.

You can type in your seat number and it shows you the view, etc

Re: Opening Day Sept 9 Skins @ Saints

Oh wow that is definitely cool... thanks! I love me some technology!

Seats look great. Very excited to sit in this legendary stadium.

PS: My free coach payton shirt was just shipped.

I can smell the dome already!!! Few more days until I hop on the plane and head down for a weekend of debauchery.

Me too, Davey. I just checked my flight and made some dinner reservations.
Good luck, but not too much. Have a good trip.
