John DeShazier: Jerry Romig provided nearly a half-century of excellence for the New Orleans Saints

The house control booth in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome was renamed the Jerry Romig House Control Booth A in his honor, and he also is a member of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the Saints Hall of Fame.

“We grew up with Dad and Mom going to the Saints games, and the entire family has lived and breathed Saints for 40-plus years” Romig’s son, Mark Romig, said in a 2013 interview, days before Jerry Romig called his final Saints game. Mark succeeded his father as Saints PA announcer.

“If I can do anything to honor Dad’s legacy by being at the house controls and even being a quarter of the announcer that he’s been, this is just a great honor,” Mark said.
