Update Pack vs NO in Jacksonville

[longtimefan]

Hurricane may make nfl move the game

 

[Budman]

Any word on where they would play?

 

[Sunshinepacker]

Dallas is the location I've heard discussed if the game is moved.

 

[Sanguine camper]

Packers have played very well in Cowboys stadium over the years. Can't imagine the veterans on the Packers wouldn't have great vibes playing their again.

 

[PackAttack12]

Lambeau Field gets my vote.

Dallas is the location I've heard discussed if the game is moved.

Dallas is the likely spot. Right now the Saints are practing at Jerry World in Dallas and the Cowboys play their first two games away so it would set up well for the Saints to host in Dallas for at least the first game. After Katrina the Saints played their home opener at Giants stadium and then split games at LSU Tiger Stadium and the Alamodome in San Antonio for 2005. The Superdome apparently did not suffer any significant damage but the area is without power and major damage to the primary transmission lines.

Why the hell Dallas ? So Jerry can break fire regulations like he did in the Superbowl ? He should have been punished heavily in his bank for that stunt.

Close and they are practicing there. It is a home game for them after all.

So Jerry gets a cut of the money ? Charming

Buggy - did you not get your tea & crumpets this morning?

 

[PackAttack12]

Dallas is a home game for Rodgers. There's no road stadium or field I'd rather see the Packers play on than at AT&T.

Not sure.

But during katirina didnt NO play at LSU? Why not now?

 

[I asked LT to delete my acct]

And to think some players don`t want to come to Green Bay to play because of the cold weather ? If I was drafted by New Orleans, I`d **** myself. Those poor people. God bless them.

El G, you seem upset for some reason. You`re not related to Jerry are you ?

 

[El Guapo]

My guess (without looking at schedules) is that AT&T Stadium is available Week 1 while LSU is not. Then again, who knows the condition of LSU and their stadium post hurricane. To me, not playing in New Orleans is the key. Where the "neutral" site is located is irrelevant to me.

 

[jetfixer]

Not playing in Dallas, or at least AT&T Stadium is what I read.

 

[Dantés]

I saw that NO might not have a home game for the first half of the season...

 

[lambeaulambo]

I say play in Winnipeg again lol

 

[milani]

Dallas is the location I've heard discussed if the game is moved.

Yes. It would make sense.

Per nfl.com

Slater later reported on NFL Now, however, that it is unlikely the Saints' regular-season opener can be held at AT&T Stadium due to a schedule conflict with a Los Bukis concert on Sept. 15. Slater added that due to the contract permitting multiple days of setup for the concert, a football game a few days before is difficult to imagine.

Nothing has officially been announced regarding the Saints' schedule, but the league said Tuesday that it is "monitoring developments and are in communication with the club," NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported.

It would appear Jacksonville is going to be the site....

Report: Saints and Packers will play in Jacksonville in Week One - ProFootballTalk

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis said on Wednesday that no location for the team’s Week One home game against the Packers has been finalized, but it appears that may be the case soon. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that the Saints and Packers will play the game at TIAA Bank Field in...

[Pokerbrat2000]

I know it will be same for both teams, but man the weather in Jacksonville can be really hot and humid this time of year. Tough break for the Saints, in that it is no longer a home game for them, but I would have preferred the AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

 

[El Guapo]

I would have preferred Dallas too, but those guys are out in the heat right now. I feel better about playing in Florida in early September than any other part of the season when they've acclimated to the cold.

 

[PackAttack12]

Huge early season break for the Packers.

 

[gonzozab]

It would seem this is more of a home game for the Packers. More Packer fans in Florida than Saints fans.
