Sean Payton drew one of the louder cheers during the first half Saturday (April 21) at Smoothie King Center.

The New Orleans Saints coach sat near the basket closest to the Pelicans bench during Game 4 of a first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Once shown on the video board during a timeout in the second quarter, the crowd erupted as "Halftime (Stand Up and Get Crunk)" played on the loudspeakers.

This wasn't his first appearance at a playoff contest in New Orleans this year. His team beat the Carolina Panthers in a home playoff game in January.
