Very exciting - being born and raised in Louisiana (Baton Rouge born) I can say for certain that New Orleans will go I N S A N E if they win. They'll go insane if they don't win too!
I am happy for the city and all the fans!!

The most important game in Saints history.
For hundreds of thousands of Black and Gold faithful, that statement was fact even before the start of the Sunday matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.
After the dramatic win on Garrett Hartley's overtime field goal, the 70,000 fans in the Superdome were stunned. They were shocked. They suddenly had to deal with an emotional bombshell that they never thought they'd see in their lifetimes: The Saints are in the Super Bowl.
Once more, just to hear the sound of it again: The Saints are in the Super Bowl.
"Not a dry eye in the house" is a clich�, but an appropriate one to apply to almost every seat and section of the Dome on Sunday night.
Many fans spoke of dueling emotions: sheer joy at the first Super Bowl trip for the Saints, and that relatives, who also loved the Black & Gold, were not alive to see it happen.
"I lost my Mom in '96, and I wish my Dad could have been here," one man said as he cried, after giving up trying to maintain control. "It's the greatest."
Many saw the win as vindication. Others saw it as destiny.
One man in the Superdome saw it as a burden being lifted from thousands, perhaps millions of people.
"43 years of suffering...ended," he said, wiping his eyes. "We're men...we can cry."
As the Saints lined up for the overtime field goal, two elderly men, one black, one white...both decked out in black and gold, stood in the alleyway leading to section 313.
As the football sailed through the uprights, the two strangers embraced, laughing, crying, jumping, shouting, lost in the unbelievable moment that had finally arrived:
The Saints are in the Super Bowl.
Life is good.

Cool thanks for sharing, I know you had a great time.
I hope Reggie packs his bat for the trip to Miami.
