THE GREENBRIER TO HOST THE 2014 TRAINING CAMP
FOR THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
White Sulphur Springs, WV - March 13, 2014: The Greenbrier, the historic American resort in West Virginia's Allegheny Mountains,
announced today that it will be the home of the 2014 Training Camp for
the New Orleans Saints in late July and early August 2014.
The
Greenbrier owner, Jim Justice, has committed to building three practice
fields on property at the resort (two natural turf and one synthetic
grass), along with a 55,000-square-foot multi-purpose building equipped
with meeting rooms, weight rooms, locker rooms, training and physical
therapy accommodations, and kitchen and dining facilities.
The
Saints selected The Greenbrier for its location and mild weather, with
summer temperatures in the low 80s. The Greenbrier will provide the
team with another environment conducive for learning, competing and
getting ready for the regular NFL season. All Saints players and staff
will stay at the resort, enjoying the benefits of this world-class
destination resort, spa and golf club.
"We
are very excited about this new opportunity with the New Orleans
Saints, which will benefit all the people of West Virginia, bringing in
tourism and new jobs," said Jim Justice, owner of The Greenbrier. "I
want to particularly thank West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin,
Senate President Kessler, Speaker of the House Miley, and all of the
Legislature for their commitment in promoting tourism and tourism jobs."
