Re: Home Sweet Dome
When myself and the Mrs travelled to New Orleans for pre-season game 2 in 2015 vs New England.
My better half says I pretty much led the "who dat" chant after the coin toss and Brees threw an absolute beauty of a pass to Cooks for a long TD. The Dome went nuts and I've personally not heard a crowd that loud before. |

Re: Home Sweet Dome
I have never been to a game and only been to NO 1 time in 03 when we had a real bad ice storm in KY and electric was gone for over a week. I remember driving by the dome and since then it has been a goal of mine to make it to a game someday. I remember feeling like I was in a different world with how nice everyone I met was.

Re: Home Sweet Dome
Being there when the Dome Patrol roamed the backfield!
I'm not kidding, when those LB's got their target the hairs would stand up on the back of my neck. They were just on another level! Nobody else could match them! GEAUX SAINTS!! |

I have to add the Home Opener in 1988. Bernie Kosar and the Browns were serious Super Bowl contenders, and they could beat anyone on a good day. But Cleveland had its own Curse, maybe even more heartbreaking than ours. Bobby Hebert was on his Game, and our O looked as good as I'd ever see it up to that point. I think we still had Reuben Mayes, and of course Eric Martin. Rickey, Sam, Swilling, & Meat- the Dome Patrol were still a nightmare to Offenses, but Kosar was on, also, and both Teams were shooting it out. Ok, Quick, Name something very rare, which happened twice in this game? ....cover the next line... ... .... .... - There were TWO Safeties. First one, Bruce Clark had Kosar's ankle in the grasp. In-The-Grasp was strictly enforced then, even though Clark was on his belly on the turf. I could see the Brown's point, when Coach Marty Schottenheimer (sp?) protested. The 2nd one was no doubt. Browns were backed up to the Poydras St. Endzone, 3rd Down... Dome was INSANE ! Kosar should have taken a knee, and let their punter work. Instead, he drops towards the endzone to pass, and S Brett Maxie blindsided him, knocking the ball out of the back line for the second Safety ! DOME WAS INSANER. I think the Final Score was 28-21. It was Crazy Fun & a Celebration Parade all the way to the Quarter. You know how the streets sound, when the Saints win. I snuck down to field level in the Astrodome before warmups, a year or so later, when the Saints were playing the Oilers, and saw Brett Maxie. I brought up the Safety, and got a very happy smile out of him. The game's on YouTube. I guarantee you will be entertained, and those of you too young to remember Bobby playing, who have only heard the sh** talked about him, will gain a whole new respect. |
