Saintsations - International

International

The Saintsations are no secret to the international stage as their first border-crossing performance was in 1990 at London when the Saints played the Oakland Raiders in a pre-season contest where they did countless appearances during the week leading into the game and on game day, they would repeat this in 1993 when the Saints played in Tokyo for a pre-season game vs the Philadelphia Eagles. Since February 2004, the Saintsations have been the invited guests of the NFL to perform at the annual London Superbash, the official NFL Super Bowl party in Great Britain. In Feb.2008, they also performed at the official NFL party in Mexico City called "Fiesta Super Bowl." The Saintsations returned to London in late October 2008 when the Saints played the San Diego Chargers in a regular-season game at Wembley Stadium.

Historically, the Saintsations biggest merchandise sales comes from their annual calendar sales. Most of American All-Stars' calendars (2002-2006, 2008) were shot along the Gulf Coast, 2007 and 2010 editions were done in New Orleans. Most of the calendar shoots were also covered by Cox Sports Television of New Orleans resulting in an annual half-hour special (since 2003). The first Saintsations calendars ran from 1989-1995 and were mainly shot in the New Orleans metro area.

The Saintsations have also sent a member to the Pro Bowl every year since February 1993.
