Saints announce training camp dates, including 7 practices open to fans

It’s starting to feel like summer. The New Orleans Saints announced this week that they will kick off their 2021 training camp on July 25 for rookies and players recovering from injuries, with veterans arriving by July 27. The first non-padded practice will be held on July 29, and fans can begin attending July 30.

There will be seven practice sessions open to the public, but free tickets must be reserved in advance (which you can register for online starting July 23, though season ticket holders and waiting list members get first priority on July 21 and 22, respectively). All practices will be held at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie, La., beginning each day at 9:30 a.m. CT. Here are the dates when fans can attend:

We're about a week away from the commencement of camp 2021. Who here is planning on going to a practice or two? Get your tickets sooner than later if you plan on going. They should be available for us on the 23rd. Maybe we can hookup on specific day.

Saints will NOT have any joint practices this year.

Is this good or bad?

The company line always suggested it was better to have reps against others in addition to reps with just one's teammates.

Logistics may be the issue. You have to have a willing practice partner. This was discussed last year on NFL Radio. They said that while many coaches welcomed mixed practices there were several that were vehemently opposed to them. It was part of the 17 game discussion and it was suggested in lieu of a third exhibition game they could have a controlled scrimmage coupled with a mixed practice.

I know Payton likes them, but what with COVID restrictions and such they may have just not been able to work one out. I know that there was early word of one against the Jags, but that must have fallen through.

Maybe they should do a scrimmage against Ohio St players, since SP is such a big fan?
