Saints owner Tom Benson on June 22 announced a four-year deal with Millsaps College to hold the team's month-long preseason training camp at the school. Some of the team's practice sessions will be open to the public.
The Saints will arrive this year on July 27 and will begin camp on July 28 at the college. They will be in Jackson until their August 26 preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.
The Saints considered training this summer at their facility in Metairie, La., but there was concern about hotel space around New Orleans. Running back and Morton native Deuce McAlister and special teams player and Philadelphia native Fred McAfee were both at the announcement.
