ESPN: Saints to play part of '06 schedule in S.A.
Tonight, on ESPN's NFL Monday Night Countdown, Chris Mortensen reported that after a meeting today between Saints officials and the NFL, it has been determined that the Saints will play at least a portion of their 2006 season in San Antonio, with other games possibly being played in Baton Rouge.
The team will maintain its name, "New Orleans Saints," though Mortensen noted that Saints officials including Tom Benson and Mickey Loomis had attempted to persuade the NFL to allow the entire Saints home schedule to take place in San Antonio. However, the league is still insisting upon having at least some games take place in Louisiana.
This comes just days after two more front office employees have left the club. (See here and here.)
Presumably, the team will center its headquarters in San Antonio as well. San Antonio officials should be rejoicing this bit of information this evening.
