Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, the New Orleans Saints are members of the South Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League. The club was established in 1967 as an expansion team.
The Saints had played their home games at the Louisiana Superdome beginning in 1975. However, the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina forced the Saints to move their home stadium in 2005 to a variety of locations: the Giants Stadium; the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas; and the LSU’s Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The New Orleans team has won three division titles and has only appeared in one NFC Championship, in 2006, when it lost against the Chicago Bears 39-14. The Saints are one of five NFL that have never played in a Super Bowl.
During 2008, the Saints finished with an even .500 record at 8-8, giving them 11th place in the NFC without an option for playoffs. The Saints have high hopes for 2009 with new coach Sean Payton.
