Opening Day Sept 9 Skins @ Saints

I know.... Like watching a pot waiting for it to boil. Can not wait for this game. If anybody is interested I will be on Bourbon Saturday night, I'd like a cool place to hang out, and the first round is on me.

I live in ATL but my dad (in FLA) and I make it to 2 games a year. I usually sell my tix to the opener and marquee games and then go to the ones where the tickets won't sell for as much.
That said, I wouldn't miss this opener even if I could get $2500 for my seats. I cannot wait but the first game for our 'Saints against the World' season.

I'll take you up on that drink- will you be wearing a Theisman or Jurgenson jersey?

Sounds good ScottyF. Both me and my ball and chain will be wearing contrasting RG3 Jerseys. She will be rocking the white, me the burgundy and gold. This is the second year in a row I bought a rookie jersey before they took a snap. Last year I grabbed a Kerrigan and was not disappointed. Maybe now as a Skins fan I can know what it feels like to have an elite QB. Been jealous of the Saints for far too long

A lot of the guys over on the Skins board (extremeskins) are planning on meeting up at Johnny Whites. Although I thought I read something about them going out of business?

Welcome to the board and as everyone else has said you will be fine. We usually take a picture with opposing fans as they walk past us. I think they may have more places open this year by Champions Square but will have to confirm for gameday. Rocking the RG3 jerseys huh! It would have been more fitting if you would have rocked a throwback say like Kilmer since he was a Saint as well.

Wow, when I started making the annual trip to NO 15 years ago Johnny Whites was the first bar we went to. Cheesy sports mural, disgusting restrooms, and there was a dog sitting on a bar stool drinking out of a bowl. It was awesome; we stop in for one every trip now.
I had not heard it closed, but one of the locals might know.

Im really looking forward to seeing how our defense has changed under sprag, but I am equally interested in how RG3 handles his 1st day as QB. Should be a really fun game.
I wouldn't be to disappointed if RG3 has a tough time though. Its very loud in the Dome, and mosts QB's struggle their 1st year. But he has a good shot at looking decent if our defense plays like last year,lol. We made Smith look like PM.
Brees had a tough 1st year.
I do have to say that at least Skins fans know what gold looks like, unlike Pittsburg fans who still don't understand they are Black & Canary Yellow

Youll have a blast. If you lose people will buy you drinks and if you win people will probably buy you drinks,lol. I think most of us are proud of our sportsmanship to other fans , and general good nature. Its not like any sports events Ive been to with opposing fans.
Bringing your kids is encouraged, they will have a ball. Its very family orientated.
Youll get some comfortable ribbing now and then, but thats because we will do anything to talk ball or drink

And do make sure to visit the saints fans cooking free food outside the stadium before the game. Don't worry about being forward or feeling out of place they want you there, mingle , talk drink, and have fun. NO is one of the last Southern hospitality places on the planet.

Oh and avoid Larry Flynt's Hustler Club on Bourbon Street, fun place, but heard several guys say they had one drink and didn't remember the rest of the night, found their wallets cleaned out the next day,lol.

Though, it is one of the few places that will let you use their restroom w/o having to buy a drink.....perhaps the two are related....

but if you're in that section of Quarter, do yourself the biggest favor ever and check out ACME Oyster house. Great place and by far the best venue in their chain.
