Me too! Greenbriar was a 1,936 mile drive. Metairie is only 1,728.

You don't know how tough it is in this Metairie Hood, Son!

It's actually a fantastic neighborhood that just happens to be in close proximity to the facility.

Life decisions and all.

It actually blows in summer.
Like all of SE LA.

mixed feeling on this one. I am still wanting them all to go back to college life out of town at some division 2 school. Dorms cafeteria and such

Re: Saints to hold 2017 Training Camp at Metairie facility
 

Think? They already know that life.

Metairie in July and August is considered a tropical rain forest.
Average High: 92 - Humidity: 85%.

It rains almost every afternoon between 3:30-6:00 in August but mornings and evenings are tolerable. Workouts at 1:30pm is hard... unbelievable hard. You will sweat more than your posterior off. You will learn what it takes to be a kick A$$ or you will be cut. Works every time we have an offseason here.

I will say Hammond (top left) is hottest place in the area and it doesn't rain there as much.... so Hagan, if you want to send them to a Division 2 school, the place is 60 miles away. Actually when we worked out in Mississippi, I thought that was the best place.

Teach them out to sweat their "Johnson" off. :goodidea:

We will be ready to play any outside game in September and will make playing in the Superdome fun.

PERSONAL DISTANCE FROM Saints Headquarters... I never measured but I may be 5 miles away.

I'm biased, but Nicholls State in Thibodaux, LA had a good balance and good proximity for the fans; plus, great local food!!!

But if they'd stayed in Louisiana, the absolute hottest place at that time of year is further North, in Hell's Triangle of DeRidder, Natchitoches, and Pineville...

Geeez is that freaking area hot...

I'd really like to have seem them geaux to Natchitoches or Thibodaux...

But staying in the 504 is just fine, plenty watering hole choices in the evening...

Nicholls State. Wasn't that about the time Kyle Turley called us a Mickey Mouse Organization? HAHAHAHA I think I saw REO Speedwagon there too...and Richard Marx...

Re: Saints to hold 2017 Training Camp at Metairie facility
 

That concert was like in 1989-90?

Re: Saints to hold 2017 Training Camp at Metairie facility
 

Pretty close, yeah. I think Marx opened, but honestly I can't remember. :whatever:
