Telling the story of Saints football in New Orleans is a way to
understand larger social, political and economic conditions during
pivotal moments of the city's history. This book is the first to
explore the team's role in rebuilding the city following Hurricane
Katrina. The author documents New Orleans' initial efforts to
attract professional football, the Katrina disaster and some
successes and failures during 10 years of post-disaster recovery.
The narrative of community recovery and cohesion crafted by Saints
fans transcends racial divides and illustrates the relationship
between professional sports and the American city. The voices of
female fans-largely overlooked in the study of sports-compel a more
inclusive definition of football fandom.
