Training Camp at Millsaps College
 

Ok, maybe b/c I'm in So. California and it's hot as hell, but:

Since the Saints training camp is heading to Millsaps, is Jackson any cooler than NOLA this time of year? And, if so, do you think the temperature difference will help build the teams' stamina and endurance? Or, is it just a matter of building unity amongst the team?

I know the big easy heat was always a big concern for the tough guy Haslett.

Here's the article talking about the pending press conference.

It's a lttle cooler, maybe a few degrees worth, and it's less humid than N.O. I agree with the move, it takes them out of familiar territory and makes them focus on the task at hand.

The only time it's a few degrees cooler is during the night. During the day Jackson is downright hot. The Saints will get no break on the heat while training in Jackson. They can expect highs around 95 and lows around 75. The humidity in Jackson is horrible, but I will admit it's not quite as bad as New Orleans.

5-day Weather Forcast according to USA Today Weather:

Jackson, Ms. 79% humidity, Sat - High of 89, low of 66
Sun- High of 89, low of 67
Mon - high of 90, low of 68
Tues - high of 87, low of 68

New Orleans, La. humidity 90%, Sat - high of 94, low of 76
Sun - high of 92, low of 75
Mon - high of 91, low of 76
Tues - high of 92, low of 76

Well at least it seems less humid. That will help a little.

Either way, it still seems down right hot.
