All practices are weather permitting, and fans should arrive early to get a good seat. Also, be sure to bring some Saints swag to hopefully get signed by your favorite player!
As always, there are certain things fans must keep note of as we get closer to open practices. The team’s website makes note of the following:
FAN INFORMATION
