The old Tulane stadium and the Superdome have always been packed for Saints games. We have a very long line of people waiting for season tickets and we're bandwagon fans? Emory University needs to take a look at all those empty seats in the Georgia Dome before they declare Saints fans to be bandwagon fans. Better yet, they can look at all the black and gold in the stands we we play the Falcons in their home stadium.

Send your Kid to Emory in Atlanta and pay the ridiculous tuition.
Two things: This is what your paying for some off the wall Fan study.
Plus the risk of your student becoming a Falcons Fan.
Slow Football week I guess!

there is only one other group of fans that compare to saints fans over the years. Pats fans. we both were losers for years and yet we both had loyalty no matter what. I remember the days wearing saints gear out of town getting laugh at. Grand parents lived right down the road from the pats stadium. early on i saw same love for a crappie team. But hell that is our team mentality rang out loud and clear. seahawk none of them compare

wish i can find the study done before we even made our first playoff game. pats and saints were listed as among the top 5 of all fan bases in loyalty. Both also ranked top 5 in knowledge of the game among the fan bases.

so i do not get this piece so much on a local level as much as nation wide.

Those fad happy fans that think offense should put up 100 pts a game. those i can do with out.

I cannot believe the Cows are not in the top 5 of this study.

If being on the bandwagon consists of yelling at your dad when he was on the roof of the house turning the antenna while I'm ajusting the box that clicked to see about getting a semi-clear picture of the game count me in.

If being a bandwagon fan consists of having a pair of vice-grip pliars on your antenna, while your (ex)wife (#1) yells out the window, when the signal is only semi-snowy, because our tv came from Shreveport, when it wasnt showing the Cowboys!, and then sticking my head next to the am radio, fighting to hear as many words as you can to listen to a preseason game on the West Coast, being the ONLY Saints fan in Deep East Texas, where they arent even aware of a city called New Orleans, and planning special 6 hour drives (pre-Interstate 49) to see a team that never had a winning season, and bleeding black & gold... yep... I guess. Later being a season ticket holder in Houston.

This is the dumbest "study" I have ever heard. Obviously Emory University has some questionable academic abilities.

A bulk of Atlanta is made of up transplant fans and they're not even in the top 10? That guy has it made if he actually gets paid to write that stuff.

Wait... Do the failclowns have any fans?!

Yes, mainly of the ceiling variety, some window, some floor, some oscillating, et ...
