SAN ANTONIO – The Saints fell 10,800 tickets short of their goal of selling out their Alamodome debut against the Buffalo Bills by Thursday at noon.
The deadline became a moot point Thursday when the NFL announced that local television blackout rules would not apply to the three Saints games played in San Antonio this year.

WOW! Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to write articles. The game vs. the Bills had 58,688 fans (6,312 less than the normal capacity of 65,000). The game against the Falcons and Lions had 65,562 (overflow) and 63,747 respectively. That comes out to 22,300 more fans per game in San Antonio than in Baton Rouge for an approximate average of 63,000. Sounds like the NO media tried to downplayed the actual figures for some unknown reason.
We won’t go there.
