Saints Game

So on Sunday, I went with my wonderful sorority to a Saints Game. We were vendors there, along with a whole group of Tulane students, and as a compensation for our hard work, we got to keep a commission on the concessions we sold and all the tips we received. We went up and down in the stands selling stuff. . . . . very grueling work but also very rewarding.

More than just the money, going to the Saints game was another reason why we came to New Orleans to go to school. It was definitely a bonding experience for me and my sorority sisters in Delta Xi Nu, and we got to see all the fans at these games, all the fans who support their team no matter what. The Saints’ return to New Orleans marks a new beginning for this city, and the thousands of people dressed in fleur-de-lis gear certainly proved that. Even when we were outside the stands we could hear the crowds cheering and booing and we knew exactly what was going on. It was an incredible sense of pride and team spirit that I’ve honestly never seen anywhere else, not even at the University of Texas, which last year was certainly known for its football team.

Bucs are about to score . . . but that’s ok, we still beat ‘em in the end!

It’s because the Saints are more than just a football team like any other football team, college or professional. They’re a lot of attitude, representative of the people of New Orleans’. Every win of theirs says: “That’s right folks. We’re back and better than ever.”
