Pre-game
Going to the Louisana Superdome will be one of the highlights of my trip. When the Saints returned home after the tragic Hurricane Katrina, I saw on telelvision just how much the fans got behind their team. I remember seeing some interviews with fans who had been left homeless but still remained as passionate about their team as ever. These are the fans I want to meet!
I saw a glimpse of the fans back in 1990 when I went to my first NFL game. It was a pre-season game in London and my Dad took me to Wembley to see it. It was great seeing the Saints back in London again. Though watching them in their back yard will be amazing.
It will not be easy for Arron Rodgers and co to come here and play well and I for one will be rooting extra hard for the Saints as every Packers loss is a gain for the Bears. I am going to try and get to the stadium extra early and seek out those die hard fans. My next game is in detroit on thursday so I have some time to do some post game partying...I saw some great Saints fans in London this year and that was a great game, hopefully I will see another great win tonight! The Saints fans have probably been the most supportive of my trip so far!
