They sold it on racial equality. That was the main selling point. LSU & Tulane engineers designed the SD.
Saints were built to last for a long long time.

Disney almost came in and ruined it. We got a team and got to keep our adult party town.


Fla and NO have hosted 10 SB's. Draw.

Sadly the New Orleans Saints franchise is the result of Government graft and corruption.

Hale Boggs and Russel Long received a franchise in exchange for anti-trust immunity for Rozelle to merge the NFL/AFL. Neither the merger nor the franchise were approved on face value.

Dixon and Mecom Jr. are white, there is hardly racial equality there....

And thus setup a losing team for decades.... and people complain about today's NFL Commissioner.

Than God for Drew Brees and Sean Payton bringing us out of the sewers and making us Americas (small market)team.
