Excellent post Sir!

I like all kinds of music, even "gangsta rap hip-hop crunk dirty south whateveryacallit" but there is a time and place for everything and I agree i tends to be oo much of it in the dome.

In a way I think it would be cool if NFL fans could pick up the positive aspects of european soccer with the crowd chanting and singing and having the massive banners. I went to a national team game the other week, Sweden vs Brazil, the Brazil fans played samba music in their sections and were dancing non stop. The swedish fans were chanting and singing the national anthem and after a while the wave started rolling around the stadium and just wouldn't really stop for atleast 15 minutes.

At an NFL game if the crowd starts chanting or such you can be pretty sure somebody will start blasting Puff Smokey Smoke or Lil' Dawg on the speakers right away.

W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Absolutely. And the Saints already have a chant, When The Saints Go Marching In. I love those chants, and especially moments like in Euro 2012 during the Ireland-Italy game: with the Irish team having one of their worst (if not the worst) outings in Euro, the Irish fans standing up a little less than 10 minutes before the game ended and chanting arms in the air all the way and past the final whistle.

And if the Saints ever play Brazil, watch for the topless chicks!

One cool thing about the Redskins, they still have a marching band playing "Hail to the Redskins" after each Redskins score. (Ok, they don't really march anymore, they just sit on the stands, but still...)

Going to English football grounds is a amazing experience.
My team Liverpool and a london club spurs sing a variations of When the Saints go marching in.They would sound great at the Dome if the crowds started doing them.

Liverpools "When the Reds go marching in" is quicker paced that the Spurs version "When the Spurs go marching in"
Im noy sure how to post videos on here so ill post the links



Couple other songs from Liverpool.The fans have a amazing repuation for creating atmosphere at grounds.Sadly after the hillsborough disaster(i know in the states it is always reported as a hooligan problem,but i can asure it it wasa not.It was caused by poor officiating by the police.They opened a gate and it led to thousands of fans pouring into a couple of pens rather than the whole terrace.Had they opened the fences a the front 96 fans would have returned home) there was a need for all seater stadiums and we had to close the legendary Spion Kop,named after a battle in the Boer war.

Sorry to ramble on but its very close to my heart as im sure youll understand.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

The Saints players pick the music before the game.

So if you've got a problem with it, I'm certain Roman Harper, Chris Ivory, etc., don't care.
