Coach Sean Payton said Tuesday the Saints are leaning toward staying in the Dallas area for the next several weeks until they are able to return home following the destruction of Hurricane Ida. They also considered Indianapolis, which is out because of a Guns N' Roses concert, and The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, which is expected to host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. But that didn't make sense, considering the Saints' Week 2 and 3 games will be on the East Coast, at Carolina and at New England. Payton said the team initially considered Oxnard, California, where the Cowboys regularly host their training camp and where the Saints spent a week during training camp in 2011. SMU and AT&T Stadium will also be available to the Saints if scheduling issues arise. Sources confirmed they are making arrangements to share TCU's facilities in the coming weeks, as Charean Williams first reported Tuesday night. And they would have ample resources in the Dallas area.

And there is a good chance they will 'host' their Week 1 game scheduled for Sept. Payton said the Saints are leaning toward staying in the Dallas area for the next several weeks until they are able to return home following the destruction of Hurricane Ida. Whether that game will be played in New Orleans or somewhere else remains to be determined.
