So who's goin' to a game today?

[dryheatbob]

Taking my son to his first NFL game- gotta learn to cuss somewhere. Saints at Cards- gonna be fun!

Any body else going to a game today?

Lets here about it!

WHO DAT!

Enjoy the game. My first game was Lions at Saints in 1990.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Should be a good first game for your kid, Bob.

I'm not going to any games anytime soon, the only remotely nearby NFL team is Carolina, and I ain't wastin't $65/ticket & 90 minutes one way driving to watch THAT slow-motion disaster in Charlotte...MAYBE go to the Saints game there later this year, if that game has any meaning.

You definitely should make it a point to get your boy to a game in the 'Dome one day, THAT is an experience.

And, with Adron starting the list of first NFL games, mine:

Washington @ New Orleans in 1969 at the old Tulane stadium.

I was also at the first home preseason and first home regular season games at the 'Dome.

Still trying to work out a way to go to a Saints home game this season, was going to do the 10/31 game against Pittsburgh, but the tix are outrageously expensive, and game tix alone for myself and family would have been pushing a grand.

Well, attendance isn't down for the Saints, the games are all sold out, there is a 50K waiting list for season tix. That has been the case in NOLA since '06.

This particular game is a very difficult one to get tix to, because the Steelers fans are grabbing up any and all available tix, and low supply/high demand is driving prices up.

Other games will be less than half this particular one.

Hey, I'm all for a humbling of the Dolts!

I can't see the Ray-duhs doing it in SD, but if so, that's a wonderful thing...

First game for me was Saints@ LA Rams, 1991. I remember the scoreboard showing something like 45,00 in attendance, and 42,000 must have been Saints fans. Mebbe more.
Parking lot was nuts with B&G everywhere.

Good player watching seats, sec 138, row 3. We have to walk on the field to get to them, so I know Shaun'll get a kick outta that. Plus the Saints will enter the field right by us. Might not see a lot of the game, but good seats for my 8 year old!
