Saints Domecoming

<small>Reporter’s Note: I’m Sarah Young, a 225 staff writer. I’m also married to Nick Young, Saints Fan and New Orleans native, a real, season ticket holding, so-what-if-they-go-2-14 fan. With every arrival of our season tickets, Nick utters a phrase that’s now an annual mantra: “This is their year. Black and gold Super Bowl!” <br>This week’s game was not about Green Day or U2 or the media fuss. It wasn't even about football (well, a little bit). It was about the Saints coming home. Along with our friends Peyton and Randi, we dressed in our black and gold and set out. Here’s a glimpse of our piece of the unforgettable Saints Domecoming.</small>
