I feel for them and everyone in that region. So right now they are in San Antonio. They are buying houses there and what not. But they will only have like 3 games there this year. The rest will just be ''away games'' but they will be considered the ''home team''.. So this monday they are playing the giants. Its supposed to be an away game for the giants. But They get to stay home, instead of them going to San Antonio. WTF?! How is that fair? The giants get home field advantage now? How is that right? The saints need to play in San Antonio on the games its supposed to be home. :mad2: | |

They made the decision to play at Giants Stadium well before they announced the rest of the games would be split between S.A. and Baton Rouge. They were going to take it one game at a time, and if they had to, the Saints would have played 16 road games this year. It sucks, but that's the kind of concession you have to make when a natural disaster wreaks havoc on an entire region of the country | |

Like I alluded to earlier, this is a "hindsight is 20-20" situation. We know at this moment that San Antonio probably could host a game this Sunday (In fact, I dont even know if they are ready or not), but the NFL didnt know that when they made their decision. They had to make their decision, and they went the safe route, playing the game at Giants Stadium instead of selecting a venue that they didnt know would be suitable for the game, and hoping for the best | ||

They should have at least found a neutral site to play it so that there wasn't so much of an extreme difference between the Saints having home field and now the Giants having home field.. I know a lot of coaches are pissed about this. | |
