New Orleans Saints having training camp sites near home and in West Virginia. Huh?

Supposedly for "a more moderate climate and setting in West Virginia".

When I first heard this, I was wondering if it was permanent or not.  I suppose it's not.

More about the move and how the head coach was courted after many attempts to the Redskins.

I thought "America's Team" might be able to get away with that.

My Bengals used to do Wilmington, OH and Georgetown College in Kentucky.
