Saints will play their first Thanksgiving Day game

As the NFL announced the schedules of 2010 season, the 2009 Super Bowl champion team New Orleans Saints are set to play the first game of the brand new season, and the franchise’s first Thanksgiving Day game at Dallas. Another attractive thing with Saints’ new season is that their first game will be against the Minnesota Vikings.




As this season will be Saints’ first season to defend their championship and Vikings’ another season of making it closer to the championship competition, the season opener between the two teams on September 9 Thursday night will definitely attract enough fans to watch the game, which also means high audience rating. It can be also expected that both Saints jerseys and Vikings jerseys will be on hot sales. And everything will be even hotter, if Brett Favre finally decides to return with the Vikings. Whichever team wins the opener, there will be huge disappointed crowds on one side and as excited crowds on the other side.

According to the league schedules, the Saints have only three other night games beside the season opener. One of the games will be played on Sept. 20 Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers, the third night game is a home game on Oct. 31 Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the last night game is on Dec. 27 Monday night at Atlanta against the Falcons.
