Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Yes, the man above, who we originally highlighted in this post has been identified. Here are the details, via FindTheUnknownWhoDat.com
His name is Bill Harris. He really loves the Saints and is happy he got to go to the game as he hasn't seen a Saints game in some time. HE HAS NEVER BEEN TO THE SUPERDOME!! Tickets to the Redskins game was a birthday present from his son Scot, who got the tickets from his boss. Their family has been Saints fans since 1966! That was the year Dave Dixon got the ball rolling for the Saints to be our team! Their dad went to the Lee Circle Saints ticket office when the first season began in 1967, with hopes of being the first in line. He wasn't first but he got great seats around the 10 yard line. He said, "That's where all the action is!" He was right.
Well done, collective NFL fans across the web.
And if you're an adoring Saints fan, know that Harris will be at the Saints-Cowboys game. Keep an eye this site for more details on his visit in case, you know, you want to go pay homage.
You can also listen to an interview with Harris from 92.3 FM. (H/T to Freek on the audio.)
