The complete story
New Orleans was awarded an NFL expansion franchise on November 1, 1966 (All Saints' Day), giving the team its name, and began play in 1967. The Saints endured four decades of losing before Sean Payton and Drew Brees arrived in 2006, culminating in the franchise's only championship, a win over Indianapolis in Super Bowl XLIV following the 2009 season. The team plays in the Caesars Superdome (formerly the Louisiana Superdome), which also served as an emergency shelter during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before the Saints' displaced 2005 season and triumphant 2006 return.
