New Orleans Saints look forward to Superdome return
Hurricane Katrina made the New Orleans Saints homeless but the team
could be back at the Louisiana Superdome by September. The players and
office staff have been told that the team will return to its training
facility in Metairie in mid-January.
Emergency officials used the Superdome to co-ordinate relief activities during the havoc caused by Hurricane Katrina.
New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson said: "We are working in Louisiana
to play as many games as possible in the Superdome, which may be ready
by 15 September."
The New Orleans Saints' base was moved to Texas after the terrible
flooding which hit America's Gulf Coast area four months ago.
Damage to the Superdome forced the Saints to play home games in San
Antonio's Alamodome and at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge
and the latter venue remains a back-up for next season if the Superdome
is still not ready in time.
New Orleans Saints have struggled against the odds, propping up the NFC
South division over Christmas with a win-loss record of 3-12.
