Katrina affected over 90% of all motel rooms in the southern region of Louisiana. These people lost their income, their homes, and a number more than lost family.

Do you seriously talk of abandonment? It wasn't the fans, or better defined as the victims of the disaster, that abandoned anything.

Learn a little history, Luke, before your open your mouth, or your fingers.

Guido,
I was a student at LSU and just beginning my first semester as a student when Katrina hit. I can tell you for a fact that no one gave a rat's ass about the Saints when they were playing in Tiger Stadium. The stadium was mostly empty because your fans are just as fair weathered and fickle as any other fanbase in the NFL.

My second point was that the Saints have enjoyed favorable officiating when playing in the Superdome, and this is likely to subside due to the Saints now being under the microscope.
