Remember that Saints fan that said Reliant is filled with nothing but business suits and golf claps
That was me. I am happy to hear yall are kicking in. Your team deserves it. They're all guts. And actually, I found out there are a lot of die-hard Texan fans. They showed up at the Superdome earlier this season, and were quite impressive. I got some crow in my gumbo now.
...I remember when NO became a solid team the last couple of years it seems like the Superdome increase by about 10 decibels. Success seems to help even the most die hard fans!!!
Actually, we were loud when the Saints sucked too. Ask Joe Montana, John Elway, or Troy Aikman. Old Tulane Stadium had aluminum bleachers, and the old guys from the Archie Manning era were notoriously crazy also.
Those of you who are too young to know about Houston and The Astrodome, you have no idea how loud a Houston crowd can get at a football game. This was nostalgic to me today!!!!
This is where I messed up. The Astrodome was my gauge, when I went to Reliant, and it wasnt realistic for me to expect an Astrodome caliber crowd.
Oiler fans were seasoned and hardened by years of losing, and losing to the same teams. So they werent just excited, they were enraged. Also, tickets, beer, everything was cheaper, so you had a more blue-collar crowd, so of course it was rowdier.
You have yet to hate the Colts and Titans the way Oiler fans hated the Steelers and Bengals. You already know about the nastiness with Pittsburgh. Well the Bengals bullied Houston for years, plus Cincinnati's Reds and the Astros came to blows every summer, and the Browns were the dirtiest team, with the nastiest fans in football. It wasnt hard to hate the Raiders or Dolphins either. Almost nobody will ever measure up to the Oilers mania, especially during both the Bum and Moon eras. But it sounds like you're on your way.
Yall keep pushing those suits and "clients" into the luxury boxes. Raise hell about prices of stuff, and keep the real fans in the seats. When everybody in Pasadena has a Toro logo on their truck, you know you have arrived.
Good luck, yall.
