In response to a flood of phone calls from fans across the region who want to stage an event to show their support for the team, the New Orleans Saints are holding a fan rally on Friday, Sept. 21 at the club’s training facility in Metairie, it was announced today by Owner Tom Benson.
“I must say this was both unexpected and I think you could say expected,” said Owner Tom Benson. “We are all working to get a win for our fans and get them excited. And at the same time our fans always provide that enthusiasm when we need it the most, and all of the phone calls we’ve gotten here today have shown that again. The rally we have Friday will be for them, and for us.”
Gates open at 3 p.m. for the rally, and there will be concessions, a live band, as well as a performance by the Saintsations. Head Coach Sean Payton and players will address the fans, though there will be no autographs during the event. The event will end at 5:30 pm. The pep rally is open to the public and free of charge!
