After taking training camp on the road last year to Southern California, the New Orleans Saints will allow fans to attend some of their minicamp practices in Metairie this summer.
The Saints announced Monday that the June 10 and 11 minicamp practices at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center will be open to the public. The practices are currently scheduled to begin at 11:50 a.m., and tickets will be free though capacity is limited.
Saints season ticket holders can reserve tickets with their account manager starting Tuesday at 9 a.m. All other fans can reserve tickets by registering at neworleanssaints.com/minicamp, in the Saints mobile app or the Seatgeek app starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
After going 5-12 last season to finish last in the NFC South, the Saints have undergone some significant change. They hired head coach Kellen Moore, and he brought in an almost entirely new staff. New Orleans also recently learned that quarterback Derek Carr decided to retire, leaving it with three young quarterbacks to compete for the starting job.
Fans must have a ticket in order to attend the practices, and each registrant is limited to six tickets. Free parking will be available in the lots next to the Shrine on Airline. Gates are currently scheduled to open at 11 a.m.
