Heard this on SC, then found an article to confirm. I know this is probably a standard practice already established via agreement.


But ... just wondering if this pisses anyone off ... i.e. particularly since it is the 49ers?

I'm ok with it. I have a health respect for the 49ers. Not a fan, but I don't 'hate' them.

If it was the falcons, then yeah, I'd be a little pissed off.

Benson needs all the cash he can get to pay for changing all his Hornet gear over to the Pelicans.

Say the Falcons did make it...would Benson allow them in the building? I'd have to think no one in NOLA would

I'm fine with it as long as they happen to misplace a D coordinator or 2 on the way out.

I'm waiting for the ESPN story on Loomis wiretapping the facility so that we can get info on them for next year's game.

Nope. Just letting the coaches see their future home.

And no way Benson would ever let atl in the door. EVER.

Guys, I know that's the Saints facility and all, but I'm sure the use of the Saints Facility for the Home team and Tulane's facility for the visitor team was all apart of the Super Bowl bid they won a few years ago.

I doubt the 49ers called the Saints and said "Hey Buddy, mind if we use your practice facility for our superbowl practices?"....Benson "Yah shhore yah con uze dah facilaty. I'll have some gumbo delivered too".

I assure you Benson would let the falcons practice at the saints facility. They're just using it for practice. Y'all act like they are smearing shite all over the walls

Benson under NFL rules would have to let the Falcons use the Saints practice facility and locker room in the Dome if they would have won. Seriously, they're trying for 2018 game why would he want to piss off Goodell again. Also, due to the rain the Ravens have the option after the 49ers have cleared out.

Standard Super Bowl procedure. I actually read an article the day after the NFC CG, where ex Saint Jonathan Goodwin was already claiming his old locker in the practice locker room as well as the Dome locker room.
