Are they seen as the "bright spot to look foreward to" or are more people still concerned with how much work still needs to be done to care about a "sports team".

Also, what type of turnouts do the games get, is it more a corporate/business crowd or are the average jills and joes able to get their hands on tickets?
Mostly hard working blue collar types go to games.. I was one of those 2 years ago.. It's something great happening in a city that hasn't seen too much of anything good in almost 2 years.. There's a big article with Drew Brees in the new SI.. He said the whole time he's lived in NOLA that people don't come up like "Good game, can I have your autograph??", they say "Thank you guys for what you've done".. Like after 9/11, The Patriots won the Super Bowl and sorta came "America's Team".. This is a similar situation.. It's kinda a metaphor for "rebuilding N.O.".. Saints have sucked for 40 years.. One year after the greatest natural disaster in America's history is the year they become great.. Come on.. How storybook is that??

Anyone who mocks or denies it is just hating.. And as I said, if you are not from here, I don't expect you to "get it".. But to completely cast off the powerful emotion that is driving this team and the enitre Gulf region is stupid and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves..
