With the NFL schedule release Wednesday night, the New Orleans Saints finally got a look at how their 2024 season will shake out.
Why it matters: Every season offers new hope.
Catch up quick: Local fans won't get a chance to actually see the Saints without hopping on a plane until late in the pre-season.
- That's because team officials are finally doing something about those failing grades the players have given the Saints' cafeteria and renovating the space this off-season.
- As a result, the team is heading to California for training camp.
