Prep football is kicking off soon and one of the most used facilities in the area will be Tad Gormley Stadium in City Park. As we remember 20 years ago since Hurricane Katrina, here's aerial video of Tad Gormley, which was under water after the storm.

Saints have two new looks this season. and given they're wearing black helmets at practice this week I assume they'll be going with gold jerseys and black helmets (adopted in 2022) for season opener Sunday, Sept, 7 against Arizona.
The Saints unveiled a 'gold' jersey that is more beige or sand colored than gold, announcing it would be worn with black pants and socks and their alternate black helmet. The Saints also created a white 3rd helmet to be worn with their all-white Color Rush.
