The New Orleans Saints are preparing to kick off against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, but they may not enjoy as strong a homefield advantage as many envision inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
It seems tough to believe that Cowboys fans would travel so well and even crowd out the supporters of the home team for the biggest game of the year to-date, but it’s possible. The Cowboys built a long-lasting, strong national brand with a string of Super Bowl victories in the 1990’s, and they still enjoy support from parts of Louisiana; the Shreveport, La. broadcast market bordering Texas often gets Cowboys games when the rest of Louisiana tunes in for other kickoffs.
