Dat Sucks: Saints Booting 1,200 Season Ticket Holders

After their Super Bowl win you would think the Saints would try to do a solid for their strong fan base, for supporting the team throughout all the adversity of the past few seasons, but after getting the first ring in franchise history Tom Benson is trying to stack chips like a poker player. The Saints are removing their old press box and replacing it with new Luxury boxes which means that more than 1,200 season ticket holders are getting a boot the size of Louisiana to build a new press box in sections 639, 640 and 641. Fans who had seats in those sections where notified by Saints employees about the decision, most like causing saltiness throughout the Big Easy.

The shadiest part is that the fans weren’t even offered other seats in another nastier section, because essentially they were already knee deep in the nosebleeds. They were however given top priory on the Saints’ season-ticket wait list, which tops out at damn near 50,000 people. Even though those that got their seats ganked were given top priority, in order to get season tickets another holder would have to chose not to renew. Considering that Saints brass are also raising ticket prices the likelihood of someone choosing not to renew is very slim, like a Jim, because tickets for next season are going to be worth some big cheese.
