(Photo by David Grunfeld, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune) By Christopher Dabe, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune [email protected]The Times-Picayune A New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl takeover in Atlanta could extend beyond the seats inside the stadium and the city streets.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday (Dec. 20) that the Falcons' team training facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia, and locker room at Mercedes-Benz Stadium would be home to the Saints coaches and players, as well.
Cities that host Super Bowls commonly open their team training facilities to one of the teams that will play in the game. In this case, the Falcons facility and locker room will be open to whichever team advances from the NFC, the report said.
The AFC qualifier will practice at Georgia Tech and use the visiting team locker room.
The Saints currently hold the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and can clinch home-field advantage through the conference championship round with a win Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Doing so would assure the Saints of being home from then until at least the Super Bowl, as the Saints close the regular season at home Dec. 30 against the Carolina Panthers. https://www.nola.com/saints/2018/12/saints-super-bowl-takeover-in-atlanta-would-... i may need to see if I'm Shidoobee material.
