I was as well.
In fact, I was at every Saints home game played at Tulane stadium (my uncle managed the Coke stands and I got in free).

Almost the same here. After a while though my dad quit buying season tickets he was so disgusted.

2001...Saints v. Panthers

Saints win they get into the playoffs. After starting the season 7-1, the Saints finish a dissapointing 9-7 losing to three bad teams in consecutive weeks to blow a playoff spot. Lose 10-6 to the Panthers...

I believe 1969 12years old Tulane Stadium. Rode with my friend and his father. His dad started hitting the Dixie beers before we headed to the game. He was good and toasted before halftime. When he decided to get into a friendly debate with another fan about just how much Billy Kilmer sucked. The debate progressed into a face to face and then into a wrestling match. Cooler heads prevailed and we were able to finish the game and leave in one piece. While heading back home his dad decided that traffic was not moving across the bridge fast enough (back then just the single span going east bank to west bank) so he decided we would take the center emergency lane at about 75 mph. How we never got stopped I will never know. I was so petrified I have no recall of any other details of the game.

I can't remember the first game. My mom would take me to one every year when I was younger. I would say the first one was early 90's.

My first game was preseason Saints Vs Texans in the Texans first season first game.
My first regular season game was against the Packers not sure about the year. I know the Saints won and I remember Jerry Fontenot pulling around on a screen and blasting a DB while Donta Stallworth followed him down the sidelines.

1998 Saints vs Faulk and the Colts. I remember we won to start the season 3-0.

After the game my mom took me to Burbon St.

I think we lost our next three games.

1990.......was 13 years old. The last game of the season on new years eve:) Morten Anderson kicks a field goal with two seconds left to win 20-17 against the Rams. That win got the Saints into the playoffs for the second time in history.
