but when you are from new orleans like I am, born and raised, when the Saints play we cheer them on like any other city does their hometown team. LOL People who arent from here dont understand NOLA and the Saints.
My family are season ticket holders and have been since i was a kid, I was raised in a saints household and my mom even had a WHODAT xmas tree this year LOL
I just like partying with my friends and family and the Saints have provided us with decades of backyard crawfish boils and parties!
I moved back for this stuff! every weekend its parties!!

It's a way of life here, everything revolves around football.. the saints. Other fans from other teams in other cities will try to contest that and say that their team is real big in their city, but nothing comes close and like you said they wouldn't understand unless there were here. The Atlanta game back in 06, the first game back in the dome, that was pretty emotional. I felt it. People who lost everything threw all of that a side and all the needed was for that team to win and it made everything seem ok to them. And thats just since Katrina, Saints fans and crazyness goes back from day one, and supporting a team that was almost always a loser.
The only team/city that would even come close to what we feel IMO would be greenbay.
