From: New Orleans, LA
To: East Rutherford, NJ
It paled in comparison to the damage done to the city, but New Orleans’ sports teams were left homeless after the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The NBA’s Hornets relocated to Oklahoma City for two years, while the future for the Saints was more uncertain.
With the Louisiana Superdome badly damaged by both natural forces and its use as a makeshift hurricane shelter, the Saints were forced to set up temporary headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, where they played a portion of their home games at the Alamodome, with the rest being played at Tiger Stadium in Louisiana’s capital, Baton Rouge.
