The New Orleans Saints will have a new (temporary) home for their Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packers — TIAA Bank Field will host the two teams on Sunday, September 12th while the city of New Orleans continues to recover from Hurricane Ida.
The game will kick off at 4:25pm EST.
The Saints had reportedly shown interest in playing the game in Dallas, but the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium was unavailable due to a concert scheduled in the venue later that week.
Also, the league wants NFL games played at NFL stadiums, nixing closer arrangements at college stadiums.
