Most excellent. Enjoy.

Papz is right - it's gonna be hot. It's gonna be Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take that kind of hot. :doh:

Keep a close eye on the internet machine for updates on changing practice schedules. Also, be aware that if there is lightning, they will move indoors immediately.
Not trying to be a downer but I attend most open practices and stuff happens this time of year.

I gotta wait until week 3 of the preseason to get a live look. They are coming to Houston, and I figure I'll ride on over there for the game!!!

Thanks....appreciate the input. Looking forward to seeing the team up close rather than through websites and television.

Become familiar with Sno Ball Stand Locations...

As I remember, Summit Snowballs is nearby on West Metairie, take Airline West to Right on David Drive (Old Saints Camp Location), Right Again on West Metairie just a few blocks past Mike Miley Playground; you can then complete the circuit down to Right on Transcontinental and then Right again back on Airline to SaintsLand (Five Minutes to get there)...

Where we lived for fifteen years, Sals on Metairie Road is a just a little farther, but also worth the visit as well (Take Airline East, Left on Severn and then a fairly quick Right on Metairie Road, Sal's will be just before Bonnabel), and about a 8-10 minute drive...

Being you're coming from Canada (per Avatar) Hanson's Sno Blitz on Tchoupitoulas in the city would be a good Bucket List visit, time of day could be anywhere from fifteen to thirty-five minutes, no telling how long the wait could be as it could be prompt or you could melt before being served, though they're pretty good about moving lines when busy...

SnoBalls are the only temporary relief from the AfricaHot that is South Louisiana this time of year...

I would make sure those tickets are refundable and keep a close eye on Closed practices.

Saints close more practices - five chances left to see team | wwltv.com New Orleans

"
METAIRIE, La. - If you want to get a glimpse of the Saints at training camp – and more than 5,000 did for the team’s scrimmage Saturday – you only have five chances left.
The Saints announced Monday that previously open practices on Aug. 8, 11 and 15 are now closed to the public. No reason was given for the decision.
Fans who wish to see the team in person can attend practice this Tuesday or Wednesday – practices start at 8:50 a.m., or Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, August 12 through 14. Those practices start at 8:50 a.m. as well.
The team reserves the right to close those practices as well. Inclement weather could also force the team inside."

These work well and are worth every penny. Wal-mart has them for about 5 or 6 bucks.

Having recently visited both Toronto & New Orleans over the last month...biggest difference in weather is that humidity in the Crescent city as another poster stated. Enjoy, have fun and stay cool!

Saw that. A few plays later he came on a safety blitz and would have creamed Drew if contact were allowed!

It's been VERY HOT this week too. If you're in New Orleans and someone says it's "VERY HOT" that means IT'S A SCORCHER!
