Our fans are the inspiration and foundation of our success, it is important to me and our organization to share these symbols of our Championship with as many of our fans throughout the Gulf South as possible, said Saints Owner Tom Benson.

We are excited to share the Vince Lombardi Trophy and our World Championship with the most deserving fans in all of sports, said Saints Owner/Executive Vice-President Rita Benson LeBlanc.
