Saints not allowed to open training in Cali to fans this year? (1 Viewer)

If the LA teams want some good practices, they will allow the Saints to have fans at practice. That will also guarantee the A/C and plumbing in the visitor's locker room will work next time they visit NO.

The Saints are only doing this as a one year thing.

Not certain about that, if it's a positive experience, I could see this easily becoming permanent. There's something to be said for getting away from the heat and humidity.

There's a LOT to be said for it. I think that every time I walk outside in July. But the Saints are dropping a lot of money into the cafeteria and training facility. I bet they will be back.

There will be 5 NFL teams holding training camp in California in 2024. That's almost 1 out of every 6 teams.

1. New Orleans Saints
2. Dallas Cowboys
3. Las Vegas Raiders
4. Los Angeles Rams
5. Los Angeles Chargers

Saints players from California (born there, grew up there, or played there) that should feel like they are at home.

1. Derek Carr
2. Jake Haener
3. Chris Olave
4. Rashid Shaheed
5. Carl Granderson
6. Jordan Howden
7. Isaiah Foskey
8. Adam Prentice
9. Jordan Mims

Why involve Angela in this?

Trying to figure out the angle here.

There’s also something to be said about the camaraderie that is developed during training camp between the players and the fans, I believe this is where they start to feel like they belong to the city in the community. For this reason alone, I don’t think it’ll be a permanent situation. Also, Dave already stated that the only reason they’re doing this is because the training camp facility is under reparations.

Sorry if already posted but didn’t see it anywhere.

Don't worry, we'll land on Hard Knocks and get to view them just fine

They held training camp in Oxnard when there was no team located there, so they got grandfathered in.

I mean if we're getting technical about it, we too hosted training camp in Oxnard in 2009 before there was a team back in Los Angeles.

Time to grandfather us in too, Führer Goodell.
