I've found the Georgia Dome a pretty unfriendly place for Saints fans. FoulCons are the only fans I'd support being uncivil toward here, eye-for-an-eye and all that ...

I'm not surprised- you get that mob mentality on MARTA and at the stations. Once inside it's usually more cordial.

Two years ago (after we won the SB) I was at the Atl Monday or Sunday night game that we needed to win for the wildcard. The guy behind me looks at my Saints shirt and starts yelling "Raise your hand if you're a wildcard team, Raise you're hand if you're a wildcard team!"
I turned around and said, " I can't, my Super Bowl ring is too heavy."
Even Falcon fans were smiling at him.
