Here’s some good news. The Saints announced Monday they will host two big events in New Orleans after returning home from their California training camp, giving local fans two opportunities to observe practice and meet the team.
First, the Saints will practice at Tulane’s Yulman Stadium on Tuesday, Aug. 20. Afterwards, they will hold practice at the Caesars Superdome on Friday, Aug. 23. That will precede their final preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Aug. 25, the only exhibition game the Saints will play in New Orleans this summer.
We’re still waiting on specific times for both practices and information fans will need on how to attend. In the past these events have been free and open to the public with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. But we’ll share more details as soon as they become available.
Now the bad news. We’re also waiting to see what the team’s plans are for fans to attend training camp at UC Irvine’s campus in Southern California starting later this month. While the Saints have yet to say anything, the other four NFL teams holding camp in the Los Angeles area have all shared practice dates. It’s possible the Saints may not have any open practices at all, but that would be a choice. The Rams averaged nearly 10,000 fans per day for their training camp practices at UC Irvine in 2022.
