Only thing the Saints are known for is Archie Manning
Culture?? Meaning voodoo? poor people canoeing through the streets?
Devoted fans? Ask the Pelicans about that? Or the Chris Paul led hornets. Weird guy from the rx wearing jeans that threatens to leave every other day?
Food? The stuff The Waterboy was eating?

Don't really care about anything you said, be it right, wrong or indifferent. But man, I have to correct you on at least one thing, New Orleans has amazing restaurants and food. I'm guessing significantly better than anything found in your neck of the woods
I have been to over 200 NFL games (all in Miami) and I think my favorite visiting fan bases are the steelers and packers. They always bring a LOUD crowd but always very respectful. I have many friends who root for those teams who are good people as well (maybe b/c their teams are successful).
A few fan bases stick out (when visiting Miami)
JETS- always obnoxious. Except now both the fins and jets stink now, the fan bases are more chill
Bills- When they were good in the early 90s, they were loud. Now they are still pretty obnoxious
Pats- Before 2002, they were always cool. Now they are annoying
Raiders- They are actually pretty cool. Fans dress up like its Halloween but are always willing to take pics with fans
Ravens- extremely loud but pretty cool. I would rate them as 1 of the the best but they are still "pretty new"
Eagles- purely annoying. They play this year but i will be out of town. I may give my tix to a buddy who is a huge eagles fan
I also went with steelers and packers due to their nationwide fan base. They travel well.
I know the saints were mentioned. I wasnt aware they had a national following. I only know 1 saints fan (he grew up in baton rouge) and isnt much of a diehard. I know the weekend before Thanksgiving, a bunch of us are planning on going to NOLA for UCF/Tulane and then a Saints home game the next day. Not committing just yet

Packers Vikings Pats and saints are prob some of the toughest road games with strong crowds
Will say that the dome will always be loud but once outside of new Orleans, a lot of conservatives have ditched the NFL and now only stick to LSU because of the whole kneeling fiasco. Louisiana as a state will always be strongly loyal to LSU. Once you reach northwest Louisiana you'll find not everyone is a saints fan (lots of cowboys fans actually) whereas many MS and AL people will be rooting for the saints

The correct answer is the packers though.
1. Fans feel they have ownership
2. Never bad or bad for very long going back decades
3. Only pro sports in that region besides bucks and bucks have never been a draw
4. History. No new stadium of 15 years.
5. Cold weather draws more football fans than warm weather/ dome teams

I'm cool
I wish I could say the Patriots' had the best fan base, but I can't. We're great, we're supportive, we travel, but I think too many of us (read them) are too spoiled and they don't know how to let other fans celebrate their wins.
For example, when the Titans mopped the floor with us in Nashville last year, I appreciate they outplayed the Pats and I congratulate their fans and let them have their day. Too many Pats fans start talking about super-bowls and getting angry, maybe even wanting to start a fight. I'm like "just chill man", we lost a game, it's OK
