New Orleans Saints Bio
Competing in the NFC South division of the NFL, the New Orleans Saints are one of the expansion teams added to the NFL in 1966. The Saints had a difficult debut season in the NFL, losing 11 of their 14 games, similar to other expansion clubs. However, it took the squad 20 years to record their first successful season, making the futility of their efforts more apparent. The Saints had a successful run of form between 1987 and 1992 when they made it to the playoffs 4 times. The most important player for the Saints has been Drew Brees, who breathed life into a lackluster Saints side. After a prolonged absence from the NFL Playoffs, the Saints made it back to the postseason under trying circumstances. Since Hurricane Katrina's devastation forced the Saints to play all of their home games outside of New Orleans in 2005, the team's return to the playoffs in 2006 was particularly noteworthy. The Saints returned to the Superdome in 2006 and finished 10-6 under first-year head coach Sean Payton. Since 2017, the New Orleans Saints have picked up on their postseason record by appearing 4 times out of a possible 5. The New Orleans Saints franchise is currently valued at around $2.08 billion.

FAQs
The New Orleans Saints were rumored to likely relocate from New Orleans to Baton Rouge in Louisiana, but they stayed in New Orleans itself.
The current New Orleans Saints home stadium is the Caesars Superdome, also known as the Mercedes Benz Superdome. The stadium has previously hosted seven Super Bowl matches. The stadium is unique because it is the largest fixed dome structure in the world. In 2005, the Superdome housed thousands of people seeking shelter from Hurricane Katrina. The building suffered extensive damage as a result of the storm, and was closed for many months afterward. The building was fully refurbished and reopened in time for the Saints' 2006 home opener in September.
