agreement with The Greenbrier resort to hold the team s training camp at the hotel in White Sulphur Springs West Virginia for three years beginning with 2014 The hotel has committed to build three football fields and other facilities for the Saints at an estimated cost of 20 25 million adjacent to its sports medicine facilities The project will be partially subsidized by tax breaks recently approved by the state legislature The relationship between the hotel and the Saints reportedly grew out of a visit by Saints head coach Sean Payton to the 2013 Greenbrier Classic golf tournament to play in its pro am competition and then to serve as caddie for his friend PGA Tour golfer Ryan Palmer Week Date Opponent Result Record Venue Recap1 August 8 at St Louis Rams W 26 24 1 0 Edward Jones
