Saints Training Camp Schedule, 13 Practices Open To Public

The 2019 NFL season is coming quickly and the real beginning is the start of training camp. Coaches and players are back on the field and we can finally begin to dig into the upcoming season, see who kept in shape this off-season, who improved, and who apparently didn't.

The training camp schedule has been announced and there are actually 13 sessions that will be open to the public up at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie. In addition, there will be a night session held at Tulane University August 4 and will be followed up by a Black and Gold Fan Fest, presented by Hancock Whitney.

If you plan on attending here is the list of rules and regulations to follow.

Also, the Saints will be holding a joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers for two days before their preseason game.

There will also be new amenities for those of you who do end up attending these practice sessions as the Saints have added covered seating with mist machines, gotta love that. Admission is free but there are only so many entry tickets available so they'll be given out on a first come first serve basis. There is the option to reserve tickets on the Saints website; season ticket holders will be given the first opportunity on July 16, waiting-list members will be on July 17, and the general public will be on July 18.
