There we go: the New Orleans Saints announced their training camp schedule on Wednesday, with seven practice dates open to fans. These practice sessions are free to attend but limited by space, so fans must reserve tickets online (which can be done at the team’s website here).
Here are the open practice dates at the Ochsner Sports Performance Facility, with gates opening at 8:15 a.m. CT and players hitting the field at 9 a.m. CT each day:
- Friday, July 28
- Saturday, July 29
- Monday, July 31
- Friday, Aug. 4
- Saturday, Aug. 5
- Sunday, Aug. 6
- Thursday, Aug. 10
Saints season ticket holders will get first access to open practice reservations beginning July 17, with waitlist members receiving access on July 18. The general public will have access on July 19 at 10 a.m. CT.
Unlike in years past, the Saints have not yet announced plans to end training camp in front of a larger crowd at the Caesars Superdome or Tulane’s Yulman Stadium. That’s usually a big draw and the only opportunity for many fans who can’t afford pricey game tickets to see their team in person, so hopefully that decision hasn’t yet been finalized rather than shelved altogether.
