So hyped about this season......

Garry42 · 08-05-2013, 06:08 PM

Just booked a flight to New Orleans to watch the Saints in camp the week of August 12.

It's going to be hot!

homerj07 · 08-05-2013, 07:11 PM

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.

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.

But at least it'll be really really humid.

Man I really wish I could go to see camp.

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...
