As in 2005, the Saints need a place to play their home games, at least temporarily. For now, no decision has been made about the location of the regular-season opener against the Packers, given the displacement of the Saints after Hurricane Ida.
G.M. Mickey Loomis said Wednesday that nothing has been finalized as to site of the important Week One showdown, set for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. He acknowledged that the game must be played in an NFL stadium.
Non-NFL stadiums become non-options because the league needs to have the ability to send real-time images to 345 Park Avenue for replay review.
