I couldn't get the game on TV out here, but I listened to part of it on the radio. The Saints radio announcers were none too pleased with the San Antonio Saints banner some fans were holding in the end zone seats.
The fans sounded loud, and I loved the DUECE yell (reminds me of when our fans yell BRUCE). For those of you who saw the game in person or on TV, how did San Antonio come across?

It rocked... They had a good wave going on in the 2nd quarter. I don't know why people whimped out on wave attempts in the 3 and 4th q's.
I got to see some dude slip and shoot a beer and pepsi in the air.. it landed on his head and several people. No one hurt but damn funny....
The fans did a terrific job - drove Losman crazy all day. It was good and loud.
My stupid binocular camera is not connecting.. it's loaded with pics... smashes on ground... Yea even tight ass took a camera even though he thought it was against the rules (me).
Proud of my fellow San Antonians for the noise we created today - I look forward to hearing it when we sell out the place.
The lower level corners were VERY empty... I'm not sure if those are seats available for sale (don't know why they wouldn't be) but that needs to be remedied. Fun time, hopefully the Dome folks make some necessary adjustments before next game... most notably, not cutting into Instant Replays to show us who is sponsoring them and then cutting out of them before we get to actually see the play!
Bah look at this Note from cbsnews..
City officials had hoped a sellout would help push San Antonio's case as an NFL-worthy area, but there were large sections of empty seats.
Well it is certainly a true statement, especially those corners. Having huge sections of empty seats on the lower level doesn't look too great on national TV.
Note: edited for grammar and spelling
True. I'm guessing those corner sections were the ones that were being held for a while. Because only one of the four corners (the one we were in) was full at all.Well it is certainly a true statement, especially those corners. To have huge sections of empty seats on the lower level doesn't look to great on national TV.
That being said, the Dome was still pretty full .. more than I thought it would be actually. And it was damn loud; fans did a great job cheering on the Saints.
Caught an interview with Deuce on NFL Primetime, said he was really happy with the fan support and with how loud we managed to get. Props to the 58k of us who made it out.
Whoever is number 22 on the Saints did an awesome job getting the crowd into it early on .. from the opening kickoff. He was really really pumped.
I just looked it up - it was this guy.
22 Thomas, Fred CB 5'09'' 185 09/11/1973 9 Tennessee-Martin
He really loved it.
So attendance was 58,000? Not bad. I'm a bit surprised it didn't sell out though.
I wonder what they average at the Superdome? I bet 58,000 would be a good crowd in New Orleans.
It was loud all right. I just wonder how loud can we get if the place sold out. Anyway, it was loud enough to throw Buffalo for a loop, and that's all that matters.
Overall, I had so much fun. And we get to do it again in two weeks!!!
I wonder if the Saints games will motivate the fans at Spurs games to get loud during regular season games.
ohh i know man i was tryin to get it going but it always died at sec 130-131
we caused a delay of game in the beggining
i dont know why the corners were so open and it sux for the dome but it was awesome beacuse you could stretch out and sit where you wanted (front row is where i moved up to). i was really sitting on the last row of the section next to the courner but the ticket checker lady let me sit in the corner just by flashing my lower level ticket and i sat where i wanted.
btw which section were you in kori?
That was from the Associated Press....although I did crack a smile when I drove past the Alamodome on the way to work, when I saw the empty sections, my first thought was that people were still walking in. As the game went along and saw the empty sections, I was a bit disappointed. Even a bit more disappointed the fact that we didn't crack the 60,000 mark (58,688 was the reported figure). Although I'm certain the Atlanta game will sell out, I'm beginning to think the Detroit game will the the lowest attended game in the three game set.City officials had hoped a sellout would help push San Antonio's case as an NFL-worthy area, but there were large sections of empty seats.
I do hope for a 60,000 turnout for the Detroit game.
105btw which section were you in kori?
Awesome turnout.
Saw both LJ and Kori at the tailgate party.
Man. I would love to have a team here.
It was a freaking blast
I dont know how true this is but I heard that at least two of the corner sections were not sold and thats why no one was in them.
Plus did you see Ernie Conwell say that the Saints werent used to being cheered like that. Bet that made LA-based Saints fans happy to hear.
Kori, I also noticed Thomas right away, he loved the reaction he got! Towards the end of the game another Saints player (don't remember who) sort of bowed down to the fans in the end-zone.
Did they already sell out the dome parking for the Atlanta game? I can't find it on TicketBas . Am I just challenged?
Carie
What's with the rolling eyes?
I forgot, the crowd is at playoff levels during the regular season, huh?
