I don't know if this has yet been discussed, but does anyone know where the Saints will be playing their home games?

Looks like San Antonio is the leading candidate.

I'd be suprised if New Orleans has a true 'home' game this year.

I thought I heard last night that they would be playing in Baton Rouge at LSU's stadium?

Make sure to alert whatever site it is to have plenty of grocery bags on hand...

5:30 P.M. - NEW YORK (AP): NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue says it's unlikely the Saints will play in New Orleans this season after the devastation Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath inflicted on the city.

The Saints will move into a hotel in San Antonio, Texas, this weekend and practice in San Antonio in preparation for their regular-season opener at Carolina September 11. They have spent this week in San Jose, California, and played their final exhibition tonight in Oakland.

But it still hasn't been decided where they will play their regular-season opener September 18 against the New York Giants or play the rest of their games.

The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which runs Giants Stadium, has offered to host the upcoming Giants-Saints game there. It would likely be played Monday, September 19 because the Jets will play Miami that Sunday at Giants Stadium.

Tagliabue said moving the game to New Jersey is one possibility.

He also said games could be played at another NFL stadium or at a non-NFL stadium. He didn't name any specifically, but the Alamodome in San Antonio seats 65,000 for football.

If there is any way they can play at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, they should.

No..the Astrodome (besides being full ) has had its upper decks closed for some time now....it would take a big investment to return it to big-capacity seating.

To me,LSU is obvious,so Saints fans with tickets can still attend.

San antonio is a good 10 hours or better away.

I know Texans love their football, but I can't see Houston housing two NFL teams.
