Where does the New Orleans Saints team based?
The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints play in the South Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Saints were founded in 1967, as an expansion team. They went more than a decade before they managed to finish a season with a .500 record and two decades before having a winning season. The team’s first successful years were from 1987–1992, when the team made the playoffs four times and had winning records in the non-playoff seasons. In the 2000 season, the Saints defeated the then-defending Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams for the team’s first playoff win. The Saints’ home stadium is the Louisiana Superdome. The team has played its home games in the “dome” since 1975. However, due to damage caused by Hurricane Katrina to the New Orleans area, the Saints’ 2005 home opener was played at Giants Stadium against the New York Giants.

And the New Orleans Saints romped to a 45-27 win over the Detroit Lions Sunday at the Louisiana Superdome. Associated Press Saints wide receiver Robert Meachem catches a touchdown pass in front of Lions cornerback Eric King. Quarterback Drew Brees shined the brightest on an offense with enough stars to populate a summer sky. Brees connected for scores with five different receivers — twice hitting tight end Jeremy Shockey — as the Saints jumped to an early lead and never looked back. Brees completed 26 of 34 passes he attempted. He was picked off once. Lions rookie quarterback Matt Stafford never found the endzone, but did toss three passes to Saints defenders. http://www.wdsu.com/sports/20890848/detail.html Sources: http://www.wdsu.com/sports/20890848/detail.
