INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey
Loomis said the team remains hopeful it will be able to host the
season opener against Tampa Bay on Sunday.
The Saints moved their practice site to Indianapolis over the
weekend to get out of the path of Hurricane Gustav. Loomis said the
team’s practice facility sustained only minor damage, such as
damaged awnings. But the Saints still plan to practice in
Indianapolis this week.
The Louisiana Superdome, which was severely damaged three years
ago during Hurricane Katrina, appeared to be in good condition,
too.
Still, Loomis said he has not yet spoken with league officials
about the possibility of moving the game, possibly switching the
two home dates between the division rivals.
Loomis said players, coaches and staff members reported no
injuries to their families in the storm.
He also said the Saints want to return to New Orleans quickly to
help lift the city’s spirits after a tough week.
