NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY
National Logistics Day™ on June 28 promotes appreciation for the important role the logistics industry plays in both our national and global economies!
The logistics industry first started to take form when Marco Polo traveled to China on the Silk Road. His detailed written record paved the way for future traders and merchants traveling between Europe and China. In 1896, the invention of the "horseless carriage" semi-truck improved how goods moved across our country. Just 14 years later, the first air cargo flight took place in 1910. The flight between Dayton and Columbus dramatically increased the speed with which goods could be delivered in the U.S. By 1956, the first container ship sailed from the port of New Jersey to Texas. Shipments forever changed how goods moved around the world. These advancements demonstrate how logistics connect the world - and always have.
Today, logistics expenses in the U.S. account for nearly 8% of everything we make and sell. That includes packaging, warehousing, shipping, and more. The third-party logistics (3PL) industry – those who help businesses efficiently manage logistics across their supply chains (from 3PLs to truckers to warehouse managers) – represents an $800 billion industry on its own.

A surprise change is coming to the Rex Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans
BY DOUG MACCASH

Established in 1872, the Rex parade is the oldest and among the most traditional of New Orleans’ Carnival processions. But in 2025 there will be a change, meant to eliminate a Mardi Gras time crunch for some participants.
The Queen of Carnival’s reviewing stand is being moved three miles nearer the start of the route to Pascal’s Manale restaurant, to provide members of the Rex court more time for Mardi Gras activities culminating in the evening ball, which is held at the Sheraton Hotel on Canal Street at 8 p.m.
Members of the Rex court – the queen, maids, debutantes and others who do not ride in the all-male parade — customarily watch the procession from a raised platform along the route. Rex, the king of Carnival, pauses the parade at the queen’s reviewing stand to toast court. The Rex court departs the reviewing stand by 2 p.m.
The Rex parade ideally lasts four hours. But as Rex spokesman Ben Dupuy explained via email: “Regrettably, the Rex court has typically missed viewing at least part of the procession over the last several years.”
For more than three decades, the queen’s reviewing stand has been located at the InterContinental New Orleans at the corner of St. Charles Avenue and Poydras Street. But in 2025 it will be relocated to the 111-year-old restaurant at the corner of Dryades Avenue and Napoleon Avenue.
The shift to a much earlier part of the route, which begins on Napoleon Avenue near South Claiborne Avenue at 10:30 a.m., will hopefully eliminate the need for the Rex court to prematurely rush away. As Dupuy put it, the move “will, for the first time in a long time, allow the Rex court to view the entire Rex parade.”
Because of the growth of Carnival participation in recent years, plus floats hitting trees, road construction and other issues, parades have often run later than anticipated. The Mayor’s Mardi Gras Advisory Council, an organization of krewe captains and others, is seeking ways to speed the flow of New Orleans’ many float parades.

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans Department of Safety & Permits’ Healthy Homes Administration today announced their next series of Landlord Information Sessions. After the success of the first session, held on May 30 at Gernon Brown Recreation Center, and due to overwhelming interest from residents, the Healthy Homes Administration has now planned an additional seven meetings.

Registration for these owners must be completed between July 1 to August 15, 2024. Owners of parcels with 4 – 49 dwelling units are encouraged to attend one of these sessions to receive more information on the process.
There will be at least one meeting in each City Council District, including two in Districts C and E. The dates and locations are as follows:
- Thursday, June 27 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Andrew Pete Sanchez Multi-Service Center (1616 Fats Domino Ave.)

“Guardians Of The Flame” Film Premiere Celebrates Cultural Resilience
by: OFFBEAT STAFF
On Friday, June 28, 2024, at 7 p.m., the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center in New Orleans will host the premiere of “Guardians of the Flame,” a documentary directed by Daniel Wolff that delves deep into the heart of New Orleans’ cultural tapestry through the inspiring journey of the Harrison family.
Spanning 17 years of filming, “Guardians of the Flame” is a testament to resilience, creativity and the enduring spirit of cultural preservation. Following Hurricane Katrina’s devastation, the Harrison family emerged as stalwarts of Black masking culture. Led by matriarch Herreast Harrison, they embarked on a transformative mission to safeguard and redefine their heritage amidst challenges of systemic neglect and cultural appropriation. The movie captures three generations of hope. It shows what one family can do, how tradition gets passed on and re-made, what it means to stand for something.
Initiated by filmaker Jonathan Demme, “Guardians of the Flame” became a labor of love and commitment. Demme’s involvement spanned years of intimate filming sessions, capturing the everyday triumphs and challenges faced by the Harrison family as they navigated the complexities of cultural survival.
Attendees will witness the Harrison family’s journey through the lens of artistry and activism, exploring contributions such as Donald Harrison, Jr.’s Grammy-nominated musical career and Michele Harrison’s innovative beadwork. The documentary also highlights their advocacy for cultural literacy and community resilience, making a profound impact on New Orleans and beyond.
The premiere will feature special guests, including members of the Harrison family and collaborators who contributed to this the documentary. You can learn more about the documentary at guardiansoftheflamemovie.com.
As the culmination of years of dedication and storytelling, “Guardians of the Flame” celebrates the vibrancy of New Orleans’ cultural heritage and serves as a testament to the power of preserving and revitalizing traditions for future generations.

What does "malware" mean?
Malicious software
malware Pronunciation: /ˈmælˌwɛər/
Definition: Malware refers to any software intentionally designed to harm, exploit, or infiltrate a computer system without the user's consent. It encompasses a wide range of malicious programs, including viruses, worms, ransomware, spyware, and adware. Malware is created to compromise the security of a device, steal sensitive information, disrupt normal operations, or gain unauthorized access to networks.
Origin: The term "malware" is a combination of the words "malicious" and "software," reflecting its nefarious nature. It originated in the 1990s as computers became more interconnected, and cyber threats evolved to exploit vulnerabilities in systems.
Example: "The company's network was infected with malware after an employee accidentally clicked on a suspicious email attachment."
Malicious software, commonly known as "malware," encompasses a range of digital threats that pose significant risks to computer systems and users. Often disguised as legitimate software or files, malware is intentionally designed to cause harm, steal sensitive information, or gain unauthorized access. This can lead to financial loss, data breaches, system crashes, and compromised privacy. With the continuous advancements in technology, cybercriminals constantly develop new forms of malware, making it crucial for individuals and organizations to employ robust security measures, such as antivirus software and regular system updates, to protect against these threats. Vigilance and cybersecurity awareness are vital in defending against the ever-evolving landscape of malware.

NBA draft: Pelicans trade into the 2nd round, draft a shooter out of the SEC with 47th pick
The New Orleans Pelicans added shooting in the second round of the NBA draft Thursday.
The Pelicans chose Antonio Reeves, a five-year college player and scoring-minded guard, with the 47th pick. Reeves played three seasons at Illinois State before transferring to Kentucky, where he spent the last two seasons of his college career.
Reeves averaged 20.2 points per game for the Wildcats last season. He shot a sizzling 44.7% from 3 on 5.7 attempts per game in 2023-24.
"There might not have been a better high-volume shooter in college basketball this season," Sam Vecenie, a draft analyst for The Athletic, wrote. "The only other player in the country who took at least 175 3s this year and had a higher percentage than Reeves was Dayton’s Koby Brea. Whereas Brea was purely a spacer, Reeves was at the top of scouting reports as Kentucky’s most consistent offensive weapon this year. He has superb touch in all aspects as a scorer."
Reeves developed into a strong outside shooter as his college career progressed. He made 38.4% of his 3-pointers on high volume — 5.1 attempts per game — in the five years he spent at Illinois State and Kentucky.

Reeves earned the Southeastern Conference's Sixth Man of the Year award in 2023. He was named First Team All-SEC this past spring.
The Pelicans chose Yves Missi with the 21st pick in the first round Wednesday. New Orleans traded two future picks swaps in 2030 and 2031 to get the 47th pick, according to ESPN.
Reeves was the third Kentucky guard taken in this year's draft. The Houston Rockets snapped up Reed Sheppard with the No. 3 pick on Wednesday. Minutes later, the Minnesota Timberwolves acquired the No. 8 pick in a trade and chose Rob Dillingham.
The Pelicans have focused on adding shooting to their roster over the past three years. They took 6-10 forward Trey Murphy with the 17th pick in 2021. In last year's draft, the Pelicans snapped up 6-4 combo guard Jordan Hawkins at No. 14.
The Pelicans finished fourth in 3-point percentage as a team last season, but they ranked 24th in 3-point attempts.
Former Kentucky coach John Calipari wrote on X, "So proud of Antonio Reeves. He has made himself an NBA player. A three level scorer who became a defender and a rebounder. Absolutely loved coaching him and seeing his growth!"

NATIONAL INSURANCE AWARENESS DAY
National Insurance Awareness Day on June 28 encourages us to review our insurance policies.
Insurance offers security, covering loved ones, and recovering losses in the event of damage, illness, or death. It offers protection but over time the value of our homes and the items in them may appreciate or change. What was once worth $100,000.00 a decade ago may be worth much more today. Be sure your policies keep up with the values.
No matter where we live, replacing everything we own would be difficult if disaster struck. From the first-time apartment to the 30-year mortgage, our possessions, property, loved ones and even those who visit deserve the protection the comes with homeowners or renters policy.
The observance offers an opportunity to learn more about the types of policies available, too. Here are some things to consider:
- Get a free quote - this is a great way for renters or anyone considering a new policy to comparison shop.
- Evaluate your current possessions.
- How has your family changed? Has your family grown or have family members moved away? How many pets do you have?
- Do you plan to buy a new home?
- Do you need flood insurance?
- Are there big changes ahead that will influence the amount of insurance you will need?
While insurance doesn't cover everything, it does ease the cost burden should a disaster strike. Other policies to review include your automobile and life insurance policies. Annual enrollments for health insurance take place at various times of the year. Making sure you know when your enrollment period begins and ends gives you an opportunity to make needed changes. It also serves as a reminder to use up any Flexible Savings Account funds before you lose them.

Historical Dictionaries: The Journey of Recording and Defining Words
Enter the World of Historical Dictionaries
Historical dictionaries are fascinating resources that provide a glimpse into the evolution and journey of words. These expansive tomes offer more than mere definitions. They trace the origins, changes, and sometimes even the extinction of words, providing readers with an in-depth understanding of language and its development over time.
The Genesis of Historical Dictionaries
The concept of a historical dictionary was first realized in the 19th century with the compilation of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). The OED's predecessor, "A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles," was an ambitious project that set out to record every English word from the 12th century onwards, along with their meanings, pronunciations, and etymologies. This monumental task was initiated by the Philological Society of London in 1857, and the first volume was published in 1884. It took almost 50 years to complete the first edition, which was a testament to the effort and dedication required to undertake such a comprehensive project.
The Role of Historical Dictionaries
Historical dictionaries serve as crucial tools for linguists, historians, and scholars, offering insights into the cultural and societal shifts mirrored in language changes. Words often change their meanings over time, and these dictionaries trace these semantic shifts meticulously. They also record obsolete words, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past and how our ancestors perceived the world.
Moreover, historical dictionaries also serve as valuable resources for understanding the influence of different cultures and languages on each other. They reveal the etymology of words and how they traveled across borders, enriching and shaping the English language.
The Journey of Recording Words
The process of compiling a historical dictionary is arduous and requires rigorous research. It involves sifting through a plethora of written works, from books to letters to manuscripts, to track the first documented usage of a word and its subsequent appearances. Researchers meticulously record the context in which the word is used, its meaning, and any shifts or changes over time.
The Oxford English Dictionary, for instance, relied on a network of volunteer readers who scoured various texts and sent in quotations showcasing the use of different words. These quotations were then sorted and catalogued, forming the basis of the dictionary entries.
The Digital Transformation
The advent of the digital age has revolutionized the process of compiling and accessing historical dictionaries. The Oxford English Dictionary launched its online version in 2000, making it easier for scholars and enthusiasts to tap into this vast repository of linguistic history.
Digital historical dictionaries have the added advantage of being able to be updated regularly, allowing for the inclusion of new words and meanings. They also offer advanced search features, making it easier for users to explore the lexicon's history.
The Future of Historical Dictionaries
As we continue to evolve and progress, the language evolves with us. New words are coined, old ones fall out of use, and meanings shift. In this ever-changing linguistic landscape, the role of historical dictionaries becomes even more crucial. They not only record and document these changes but also help us understand the undercurrents of societal shifts and cultural nuances that drive these changes.
In the future, we can expect historical dictionaries to further leverage technology, incorporating tools like AI and machine learning to streamline the process of recording and defining words. Regardless of the tools used, the mission remains the same: to capture the rich, dynamic tapestry of language and preserve it for future generations.
In Conclusion
The journey of recording and defining words is a journey into the heart of our shared history and culture. Historical dictionaries encapsulate this journey, offering us a lens to view the past through the prism of words. They are not just repositories of definitions but are vibrant, evolving chronicles of our language, society, and culture. Despite the challenges involved in their compilation, the quest to document the evolution of words continues, driven by a passion for language and a commitment to historical accuracy.

Ain't There No More New Orleans
Derby Gisclair
1969: The Napoleon Theatre
Before streaming services that brought movies into your home, before cable television, and before the multi-screen movie megaplex at the mall, we had the neighborhood theatre. One of the ones in my neck of the woods growing up was the Napoleon Theatre. Located at 1012 Napoleon Avenue near Camp Street, the venue first opened in the 1921 and underwent an extensive makeover in 1938.
This photograph dates from 1969 when Jacqueline Bisset was staring in “The First Time,” a coming-of-age comedy that was largely forgettable. The movie theatre is long gone, replaced by a block-long playground.

Look at this amazing capture of the Hotel Monteleone in the 1940's!! Note the stairs. The stairs are no longer at the entrance. Also, the stairs as front entrance to the Carousel Bar is no longer there. You have to enter the bar inside the hotel. And, the stairs to the right for a barber shop are no longer there. The barber shop is located on Bienville today. The long Hotel Monteleone sign is also gone today. There is a sign that hangs on the Iberville corner, but it is different. Streetcar tracks are there, too

Good Old Days
Who remembers this guy on television from 1947 through 1960? This television show was the first to pair a real person with puppets and related characters such as Sherry Lewis and Lamb Chops.
Howdy Doody's name came from a down home greeting used in the past, "Howdy do". The original Howdy Doody had 48 freckles representing the 48 states during the time the show was on television. His companion on the show was Bob Smith who gained the nickname Buffalo Bob Smith from his home town of Buffalo, New York and his admiration of Buffalo Bill Cody.
And did you know that William Cody, later known as Buffalo Bill, lived in Kansas? In 1853 Isaac Cody, Bill's father, sold his land in Iowa and he and his family left for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Life in Kansas proved to be a turning point in William Cody's life. When he was just ten years old his father was killed during a riot fighting for Kansas to be a free state, leaving young William the man of the house. As a young man, Cody served with the 7th Kansas Cavalry, Company H in the Union Army during the Civil War.
Come see Howdy Doody at the Territorial Capital Museum in Lecompton!

'Grammaw and the Magic Goo' runs June 21-30 at Rivertown Theaters.
- Photo provided by Ricky Graham
Children’s theater often has life lessons for young audiences, but there could be more uses for the magic onstage.
In “Grammaw and the Magic Goo,” writer and director Ricky Graham and friends thought about solving some of the city’s problems, like potholes.
“When we started working on [the show] in 2020, we were like, ‘we hope the problem is still around,’” Graham says. “But we didn’t have to worry about it having an expiration date.”
The family-friendly musical comedy should have plenty of legs, and it premieres this week at Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts.
The Grammaw is Judy, who lives in the Irish Channel, where her grandson Jayden visits her. Judy is friends with everyone in the neighborhood, from the local cop to neighbors Margie and teenaged twins Chloe and Zoe, who’ve just moved into the neighborhood. The only one who is not a good friend is Judy’s former-school-friend-turned-longtime-nemesis, Trudy.
The setting is Graham’s classic yatty New Orleans, immortalized in shows like “…And the Ball and All,” with the gossiping women of the Mystic Krewe of Terpsichore, whic
h has become an annual presentation at Rivertown. In “Grammaw and the Magic Goo,” there’s all the same yatty folk wisdom and nostalgia, like references to scrounging for Rex doubloons. Judy also is hooked on bad puns, but if anything isn’t typically New Orleans, it’s that she is a horrible cook.
Judy is, however, irrepressibly optimistic and determined. When she comes up with an idea to fix New Orleans' potholes, everybody takes notice, especially Trudy.
Graham credits the seed of the story to longtime collaborator and backstage organizer Su Gonzy. During the pandemic, they had plenty of down time while live entertainment venues were closed. When Gonzy came up with an idea, Graham enlisted pianist and composer Jefferson Turner. But unlike many local projects that sprung from the pandemic, they shelved it.
“When Jefferson wasn’t teaching, we started chatting about this silly idea, and we wrote about half of it.” Graham says. “Then school started again for Jefferson, and life started again for me and Su. The project disappeared, but then I pulled it out of the drawer a year ago.”
The production reunites Graham and Turner with several longtime collaborators, including Mandy Zirkenbach and Matthew Mickal, who frequently worked with Graham on his post-Hurricane Katrina “Renew Revue” cabaret shows.
Graham also brought on actors Ashley Lemmler and Jessie Terrebonne Thompson, who has done some cabaret work with Graham since the pandemic as well. Here Thompson’s the model Disney-style villain, complete with suffering sidekick, Graham says.
Turner composed the score for a three-piece band of piano, percussion and euphonium. Turner said the small tuba would help get the sound of a small New Orleans street band, Graham says.
The show also was tweaked by some of the younger actresses. They helped Graham with youth lingo of textspeak.
“The two girls in the show explained to me what everything was,” he says with a laugh. “They’re 13. They’re perfect.”
The show is for middle schoolers and up, Graham says. And there are some jokes for parents, about things like designer dog breeds.
Following this run, Graham and Turner again focus on young audiences. They’ll teach a camp at the National World War II Museum in which kids will learn about the war and put on a mini U.S.O. show. And after some directing work in the fall, Graham brings another original show to Rivertown for the holidays, “It’s a Wonderful Life, Y’all,” giving the classic a local twist.
“Grammaw and the Magic Goo” runs June 21-30. Tickets are $23.84 (including fees) via rivertowntheaters.com

Toups' Family Meal is a non-profit founded by Chef Isaac and Amanda Toups, whose is mission is to bridge the gap of food insecurity in New Orleans. This summer we are focusing on feeding children while they are out of school.
Our June 30th fundraiser is being generously presented by Hardhide Ponchatoula Strawberry Whiskey and will feature the Lost Bayou Ramblers, food by Joel's Lobster Rolls, Cochon King BBQ, and Southern's Fried Chicken. We will also have a silent auction happening on-site. Doors open at 5pm, music starts at 6pm! Chef Isaac Toups will be our MC!
So far this non-profit has provided over 13,000 meals and is track to provide another 50,000 before the end of summer, assuming they get your support.
For more information about the summer food program, and how to donate, please visit https://toupsfamilymeal.com/
More about Toups' Family Meal:
Our goal is to feed underserved communities in our city, which is culturally known for some of the best cuisine in the world. Unfortunately, the disparity we are seeing is some of our hardest working citizens still can’t bring home enough to keep families fed. We find this to be unacceptable. One in three New Orleans families are currently facing food insecurity.
This summer, we are focusing on kids who rely on the free/reduced school lunches during the school year, and supplementing as many meals as we can while they are out of classes for the summer break. We have delivery drivers signed up to deliver meals directly to those who’ve expressed need, and will be dropping off on Tuesdays and Fridays every week. Cold sandwiches, meals ready to heat, as well as shelf stable snacks, fruits and veggies will all be included in our drop-offs weekly. We need help to accomplish this undertaking! Our food-safe certified staff at our restaurant (Toups Meatery) are preparing and assembling all meals, but we need donations to cover the cost of ingredients. Everything we raise is going directly to ensuring the kids who are being raised in the Big Easy are satiated and happy.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, July 1
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

On July 9 at 2:30 p.m., marsh building at the Bucktown Living Shoreline Project will be in full swing, with a dredge pumping sediment from the bottom of Lake Pontchartrain through a pipe to the project site. The sediment will be used to build approximately 20 acres of intertidal marsh. Parish employees and the project team will be available to answer questions. We hope to see you there!

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

Another big piece of the Saints 2024 schedule has officially been finalized, with dates and times established for each of the Saints' three preseason games.
The team will have its first two preseason games out west due to their training camp being held in Irvine, California.
Here's how the slate shapes up:
- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)
- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)
- P3, Aug. 25: Tennessee Titans at Saints, 1 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)
The Saints preseason opponents were announced with the rest of the 2024 schedule earlier in May, but exact dates and times for two of the matchups were left TBD. As is typical with the preseason, start times and days are all over the map. The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.
