BATON ROUGE, La (BRPROUD) — Moments after the New Orleans Saints announced that no fans would be allowed in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the September 13th season opener, Governor Edwards took to twitter to thank the team for being considerate.

I want to thank the New Orleans @Saints for developing a comprehensive plan that is thoughtful and considerate of both the players and football fans as we continue to fight Covid-19 throughout our state. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/cJ0o7YxrlH

Saints fans are not excited at all about not being able to be in the dome.

Are we still allowed to party on Bourbon Street after? Because, for me, this has become a bit of a tradition.
