Buy Cheap New Orleans Saints Tickets New Orleans Saints Info. On November 1, 1966 the NFL awarded the city of New Orleans an NFL team. John W. Mecom, Jr. became the majority stockholder, and the team was named the Saints on 9 January 1967. The team’s name came about because the franchise had been granted to New Orleans on All Saints' Day. The Saints posted a record of 3-11 their first season, which set an NFL record for most wins by an expansion team. Despite having an impressive first season, the Saints could not manage to finish as high as second in their division until 1979. One of the Saints’ shining moments came on November 8, 1970, when Tom Dempsey kicked an NFL record-breaking 63-yard field goal to defeat the Detroit Lions by a score of 19-17 in the final seconds of the game. This record, although equaled 29 years later has yet to be broken. The Saints began playing in the Superdome in 1975, and four years later they recorded their first non-losing record, finishing with an 8-8 win-loss record under head coach Dick Nolan. Current Saints owner Tom Benson acquired the Saints in 1985, and hired Jim Finks as general manager and Jim Mora as head coach. Having that combination in the front office gave the Saints their first-ever playoff appearance in 1987; ending the season with a 12-3 record. Another playoff appearance would happen again for the Saints in 1990, and the Saints’ first division title came in 1991. Although the Saints made the playoffs four times under Mora's guidance, they were never able to win a playoff game. Mora coached the Saints until the middle of the 1996 season, when he stepped down halfway through a disappointing season. Jim Haslett held the position of head coach for the Saints from 2000 to 2005. In his first year as coach, he led the team to the playoffs. The Saints lost to the Minnesota Vikings a week after beating the St. Louis Rams for their first ever playoff win. The Saints failed to make the playoffs in 2001 and 2002, although in the 2002 they had the distinction of beating the eventual Super Bowl XXXVII champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in both of their regular season meetings. In August 2005 Hurricane Katrina ripped through the city of New Orleans and caused extensive damage to the Superdome. After the hurricane, the Saints were not able to play any home games there for the entire 2005 NFL season. After practicing for a week in San Jose, California, the Saints set up temporary headquarters and arranged for practice facilities in San Antonio, Texas. The Saints have been rumored to be the next team to relocate because it is uncertain if the New Orleans' economy will be able to support the franchise. On February 5, 2006 the NFL announced that the Superdome would reopen on September 25 when the Saints play the Atlanta Falcons for ESPN’s Monday Night Football. On April 6 the Saints released their 2006 schedule. All home games are scheduled to be played at the Superdome.
