I love this time of the year!

[saintsfanfl]

The interesting thing is there are no 2 a days.

That stinks, because I will be in town for week 1 and like attending morning sessions, so I can spend time with my family in the afternoon/evening. Oh well, they will just have to miss me at the dinner table this year and enjoy my charming morning company at breakfast for a couple of days.

Now, let me go delete my thread, because we posted simultaneously.

Hope no one made plans to come in the weekend of August 10th to watch practices.

And I personally will miss the morning practices as even though they were hot, they weren't as bad as the afternoon ones. Plus afternoon has more chance of rain.

Exactly why I'm disappointed. Mornings felt like I was in Hades itself in '09 and I tried to go to 2 afternoon practices that were cancelled that same season.

I hope I am at least able to get to one afternoon practice this year, and then hope I don't suffer heat stroke.

That's why they sell beer at the 9am practices!

I also believe weather will cause force more practices indoors.

And that's why I drank beer at the morning practices.

And yes, weather is why I'm concerned I won't be able to make any in a couple of weeks when I'm there. I'm hoping though to at least get one in.

Have they said which practices will be open to the public?

Not yet, they only note for sure that 1 is closed to the media.

I'm wondering if the shortened schedule of practices means that they are all open to the public unless moved indoors. Guess we'll have to wait to find out.

Looks like all 12 of the 4-6:45 practice sessions will be open to the public.

New Orleans Saints ‏@Saints
The Saints will host 12 TC practices at the team's training facility. Open to the public (weather permitting)

Nick_Underhill Here's what Bill Belichick had to say the last time the #Patriots and #Saints practiced together blog.masslive.com/patriots/2012/…

Belichick reached out to Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt about the possibility of holding practices together in June.

The New England Patriots have announced that they will conduct joint practices with the New Orleans Saints at Gillette Stadium during training camp.
The sessions will be held Aug. 7 and Aug. 8. The Patriots and Saints will then face each other in a preseason game on Aug. 9 at Gillette Stadium.
In 2010, the Saints traveled to New England to conduct joint practices. More than 16,000 spectators showed up to watch the teams work during the first day. Patriots coach Bill Belichick called the sessions some of the best practices he's coached.
“I thought yesterday’s practice was probably one of the most productive practices that I’ve been part of in my career," Belichick said at the time.
"We saw a lot of things from the Saints that we haven’t seen from ourselves. They’re obviously very good and they do a lot of things well, so there were a lot of things that we were able to evaluate and also adjust to. We can walk through them and talk through them, but it’s different when a good team does them and hurts you with them, and you have to make those changes.”
Players did not take part in live tackling during those sessions and were warned beforehand to be on their best behavior and to avoid all skirmishes, as they likely will again this time.
During 11-on-11 drills, Belichick and Saints coach Sean Payton, who is currently serving a one-year suspension for his role in the Saints' so-called bounty program, stood behind the quarterback before each snap and would yell out the situation they wanted to practice.
At the time, observers were stunned that the typically secretive Belichick would be so open with an opponent. New England also held joint practices with the Atlanta Falcons in 2010.
Belichick reached out to Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt about the possibility of holding practices together in June.
The Patriots open their preseason schedule against the Saints, while New Orleans opens its schedule on Aug. 5 against the Arizona Cardinals in the Hall of Fame game.

So do y'all know which ones are open to the public?
