The New Orleans Saints are finally back home. After missing their home opener due to Hurricane Ida, the Saints' matchup against the New York Giants will be the first with fans in seats since 2019.

You better believe the Caesars Superdome will be rocking, and the Saints surely know it. Not only did the fans have to wait two whole years, but the added three-week wait probably pushes the noise just a little bit more.

Via Dan Benton of Giants Wire:

“Man, I feel sorry for them boys,” Saints cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson told reporters on Friday. “They in for a rude awakening on Sunday. 12 o’clock gonna feel like 7:30 p.m. Get ready.”

The Giants, however, have been preparing for the noise. Quarterback Daniel Jones claims they've been simulating the atmosphere in anticipating for their high-volume battle with the Saints.

“Yeah, we’ll be ready for it. We tried to simulate that [Thursday] in practice and we’ll keep working that, but it’s definitely going to be part of the game and something we’re going to have to prepare for, and we are preparing for it. So, we’ll be ready for it,” the Giants QB told reporters on Thursday.

After a tragedy once again hit the Louisiana area, it's a great sight to see fans returning to support the team that they love and provide at least a sense of normalcy in an otherwise tumultuous time in New Orleans, not to mention the world at large. Hopefully the Saints can give them something to cheer about.
