The New Orleans Saints are a National Football League (NFL) team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They are members of the National Football Conference (NFC) South Division.
History and League Success
The Saints entered the NFL as an expansion team in 1967. The team's name comes from the date the original announcement was made that the city was being awarded an expansion franchise: November 1, 1966; November 1 is All Saints' Day in Catholicism, and New Orleans (and south Louisiana) is heavily Catholic.
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina to New Orleans' home stadium (the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, which is one of the premier large-venue facilities in the United States, hosting seven Super Bowls), the Saints played their 2005 season in Baton Rouge and San Antonio.
The Saints have won their only Super Bowl appearance in 2010.
