About 60 well-wishers lined up alongside Notre Dame Seminary's chapel Wednesday morning waiting to say their goodbyes to New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans owner Tom Benson, who died last week at 90.



A Mercury Comet parked along Carrolton Ave. splashed in black and gold paint with "Who Dat" plastered on each door. A mural painted on the trunk of the car included many memorable Saints moments, including an umbrella-wielding Benson with his wife, Gayle, by his side.



The group of early arrivers walked by numerous floral arrangements from the likes of Brother Martin (Benson's alma mater formerly known as St. Aloysius); NFL teams like the Colts, Eagles, Titans, Texans, Browns; the NBA's Timberwolves; Mercedes-Benz.

What would Tom Benson think of all this?
