Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints are set to kick off what may be the quarterback’s final season in the NFL, and against a rare opponent: Tom Brady and his new Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates. But they’ll be playing in a too-quiet Mercedes-Benz Superdome without fans in attendance, as state and local governments work through their COVID-19 pandemic recovery plans.
So the Saints are as bummed as anyone to be playing without 70,000 roaring fans to back them up. But they took time to produce an epic video reflecting on the best in-game highlights from fans all across the Who Dat Nation, thanking them for their support and with a hopeful message — to welcome fans back to the Superdome as soon as possible. See it for yourself:
To the best fans in football…
Whether you're there or not, we play for you
