according to ESPN News, The Saints could be moving their practices to San Antonio, and further more the Alamo Dome could be a possiblity to host all their home games this year. there is possiblity that the Saints could play at Baton Rouge where LSU plays.

Would be kinda weird since the saints wouldnt have many actual fans there. They have poor turn out at home, doubt people would travel to SA to see them.

They would be way better off playing in Baton Rouge. THe Saints have a good fan following throughout the state, but they have a love hate relationship with the city of New Orleans so that spills over into the local fanbase. Kinda sad really but hey, it's not the Cowboys.
Honestly, this is real small potatoes compared to what they are facing in NO right now.

I don't see how the Saints will be able to carry on with any success this year.
Frankly I wouldn't blame them if they didn't play at all this season. They live in that city and how they are able to deal with all the personal issues and still play football is beyond me. This goes way beyond whether they can play in the Dome or if their facility was damaged or where they could play their home games.
The Governor of Louisiana is calling for every person in the city of New Orleans to be removed from the city because conditions have deteriorated so rapidly and the city is incapable of sustaining life!
