Saints Training Facility

I had seen a social media post about things to do in Jefferson Parish, and someone mentioned that there was a museum here for the Saints Football team. I am not a passionate fan, but there are a lot of those in Louisiana. This museum is very small, but there is a lot packed in. It is always nice to see a collection of things related to something people are passionate about. I would recommend to anyone. I did not ask about a tour of the facilities because I came alone on a weekday, so I can not speak to if that is offered.

Lots of folks coming here playing hookie from work and school lol. I mean there was a loooooooong line of fans waiting for the gates to open. I didn't want to take pics and snitch. HOWEVER, I just hope those who called out sick from work didn't get caught on the news because there were several cameras out present lol. Anyway, I enjoy this entire area, mainly for exercise. The people are nice and friendly and there's a lot of activities going on around the park and facility. I'd like to take an inside tour of the facility one day. There is an ardent security guard at the gate so be sure to have your credentials if you're planning to get anywhere near there. Big shout out to the folks who work so expeditiously assembling those bleachers and mega training camp banners. The training facility appears to have a super supportive team of people who help to keep the operations streamlined. Kudos!

Went to an event at the Saints facility and it was really nice. We had our event in the teams conference room which was pretty cool. After our event, they took us through the facility. We were able to walk through the indoor practice facility, weight room and the rest of the facility. Such a great staff who took care of us during our event. We got to meet a few players as they were at the facility during the same time. Pretty cool experience that many people don't get to see.

Love dem boys! Yelping the Saints..how cool is that? Congratulations to the 2011 NFC Champs. The hangover was a rough one but the die hard fans continue to support the Who Dat nation. Drew Brees 'Oh lord Breesus' is still one of the best QB's in the league. We really had a strong team this year, with many record breakers. Jimmy Graham ' Got dam Graham' - just to name one, was one of my new favorites. My ALL TIME favorite is Pierre ' Flying Frenchman' Thomas. The experience of watching him running the ball was magical. I can't wait to see him ballin next year (hopefully in the NOLA baby). All the real fans show their support through W's and L's. I cringe when people say ' I used to wear a paper bag on my head'. Don't put a bag on your pretty 'lil' head. We have a culture that is unique and desired by most professional teams and cities. Dare to, no better yet, have a frenzy with uploading your Saints photos. Fresh spots to watch the games include: Hyatt, Jackson Brewery Bistro, Walk on's , Happy's, Cooter Brown's, WOW (NOLA East), Your Sofa, Tracey's, Gordon' Biersch, Bayou Beer Garden, Superior, Lucy's, Manning's ( hmmm) and New Orleans Hamburger & Seafood - just to name a few. The impact of the community involvement required from a professional team is commendable. We have players that exceed the minimum requirements needed to be a baller. Without Saints football, the city is just blah on Sundays. The financial gain from our National Football League team is ultra positive for the city of New Orleans. Hopefully, I can find a Sproles 'Sprole with it' Jersey next year to rock at a game. I am looking forward to season next year in the Mercedes Benz dome. New Orleans hosting the Super bowl is the icing on the dome. 'Baaabaaay buy me a drink, and let me watch this game'! Cheers and Deuces to the Who Dat Season of 2011....! Bring on the heart attack babies...

WHO DAT FOR LIFE!Great facility. Great players.The best fans!

Went to a scouting event that was held inside. It was similar to the NFL camp that I once volunteered for. Plenty of inflatables, football throwing machines, and novel giveaways. I had about 30 kids that were ignoring every jump toy and game to the point that an official inquired. "Hey we rented all these inflatables and have all of these players signing footballs, what are y'all doing????" I sternly replied "doing what these kids came here for, we're playing three flies in!!"It sort of astonished him that kids would like to catch a football at football camp rather than wait in line for some inflatable obstacle course. But afterward we went from the indoor field to the press area, then to the workout room, and into the locker rooms. There were stern warnings drilled into everyone multiple times and stressed to chaperones- This is personal gear, so don't touch a thing!!! Most everybody walked really fast in order to get to the gaming consoles at the far end of the locker room. We met a player in the locker room by the name of Zach Streif. He took the time to talk to some of the kids and that really made the day for most of these young people. To this day there isn't a game that I watch without wondering "where's Zach?" If I was a Saints player I'd attend every function I could to cement my function with the team. He was such a nice guy you couldn't help but like him.!!We ended up leaving with food, drinks, and some type of souvenir if I'm not mistaken. It's a beautiful facility, and I'd recommend it for anyone to visit if given the chance...
