All Saints’ Day, November 1, 1966 was the day the birth of the New Orleans NFL Franchise, the New Orleans Saints. The team was named for the jazz anthem “When the Saints Go Marching In”, and very fittingly, one of the part owners was Al Hirt. His rendition of the song, “When the Saints Go Marching In” was the official fight song of the new team. The fact that Congressman Hale Boggs backed the proposed AFL-NFL merger and then received this franchise does not slip anyone’s notice. The black and gold team has strong ties to the oil industry and the black gold commodity of oil. Yaytickets.com sells lots of tickets to see this team play in New Orleans.
