Irvine, California, has emerged as the favorite to host the New Orleans Saints’ 2024 training camp, multiple sources said this week.

After weeks of exploration, Saints officials have targeted a site at the University of California-Irvine in suburban Los Angeles, where the Los Angeles Rams have conducted their training camps in recent years.

The Saints have held training camp at their Metairie training complex since 2017, but an ongoing construction project on the team’s cafeteria adjacent to the indoor training facility will force the team to move camp elsewhere this year. Both facilities -- the cafeteria and indoor practice field -- are critical for training camp, when rosters expand to 90 players and inclement weather can impact practices.

Saints officials have kept mum publicly about their plans. Saints head coach Dennis Allen said last year that moving the 2024 camp was a possibility because of the renovation project.

"Nothing’s been determined, but yeah, that’s something that we might consider," Allen said in August.
