It was on All Saints Day, November 1st, 1966 that the NFL awarded New Orleans with the 16th Franchise in the NFL for 8.5 million dollars. Here is the New York Times article from the next day describing the event.

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.
