New Orleans Saints to play five prime-time games in 2014

Better Chicago than Cleveland in December. Also, I'm glad we're playing on the road on grass going into the playoffs, given the likelihood that we will have to travel and play outdoors on grass 1st round. Nothing like getting used to it.

IMHO, not so H, Thursday night games are ridiculous and should be banned. Given how low quality they have been over the years and the number of injuries due to fatigue, it is a dilution of the NFL brand to subject the participants to this crass money grab that doesn't even pay out.

Zoiks! The ticket prices are sky high. The Cinci game this year costs more than the Dallas game last year. Looks like I won't be at any games this season.

Dont get nervous, ticket prices you see right now are Ticket holders selling their tickets, not Box office tickets. Box Office tickets are not on sale yet.

Technically the Saints don't sell individual games, as the season ticket waiting list continues to grow. Why mess with single games when you can do all of the accounting in June and be done?

Visiting teams do occasionally release their tickets, but not too often, and you usually don't find out until Thursday of that week.

Because I live in Houston and the closest game is Dallas this year

It is too early to look now unless you just want to over spend ..

Preseason tickets are astronomical this time of year.. last year the Saints Texans tickets were 300+ until mid August then I was on the 50 yard line 11th row for $85.

oh, I didn't mean that as a question directed at you...I meant that because the Saints have a captive audience with the season ticket base that they have no need sell individual games.

Just got an email from Saints offering additional seats.
I followed the link and there are exactly SIX season tickets available, all singles

Everyone take a deep breath and laugh with me.

Atlanta doesn't have a home game from Week 7 through week 11. The Lions game is in London

5 weeks for season ticket holders to watch TV.

Carolina doesn't get a BYE week until Week 12 and 3 of their last 4 games are division games. Also have a 4 game stretch of @Packers, Seahawks, Saints, @ Eagles

Tampa Bay Last 4 games @ Detroit, @ Carolina, Packers, Saints (1 prime time week 3

Yessir. Some rumbling about our schedule, warranted maybe, but we're not as bad off as some other teams. Of course I particularly enjoy the Falcons going missing for 5 weeks. Then again they've been missing for pretty much an entire season, right?
