Saints have been in New Orleans for 40 years, and this year they have broken the all-time season ticket sales in the teams' history. Rita Benson, with the team, predicts that the entire season will be sold out with season tickets when kick-off occurs in September and warns that there only be walk-up tickets available to games from tickets allocated to away teams who return those unsold. She feels many won't be returned because of the outpouring of national support for New Orleans and most away team tickets will be bought because people want to support the city. The downside of the sales are the team still has about 1/3 of its' 100+ suites still available, but, owner, Tom Benson, did admit that many businesses are in the final stages of dealing with Katrina and insurance issues and these businesses have indicated that they are in the final stages of dealing with the storm and will come through with suite purchases before the season starts. GO SAINTS!!
