 One of the biggest moments in New Orleans Saints History. New Orleans businessman Tom Benson purchases the New Orleans Saints from John Mecom Jr for $70.2 million dollars. The new ownership of the team set in motion a new attitude that Saints fans had not experienced before.
I've been following the Saints since a kid in the 70s watching the likes of Archie Manning and Tommy Myers.
We may not have as grandiose a history as some NFL teams, but there are scores of memories the New Orleans Saints have given to their fans and I have done my best to record them here at New Orleans Saints History.
