NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Bartenders and serving staff at restaurants from Kenner to the French Quarter plan to open early Sunday (Oct. 25) for fans cheering on the Saints overseas.
Fox 8’s pregame coverage starts at 7 a.m. with the Fox 8 Live Tailgate show. The Black and Gold Pregame Show follows at 8 a.m. on the Gulf Coast Sports and Entertainment Network, ahead of the game’s 8:30 a.m. kickoff on the NFL Network.
The Broadside will host the Saints’ official stateside watch party for the NFL’s first game played in France. Fans at the sold-out event can take pictures with members of the Saints Cheer Krewe and the bar will be open with several vendors serving French cuisine.
