Look: Saints unveil $12M cafeteria upgrade at team facility
The New Orleans Saints new dining hall is officially open for business, and it doesn't disappoint.
The Saints showed off the new digs for the first time this week, the product of a $12 million construction project that's revamped a good chunk of the team facility this offseason.

The upgraded facility, which includes a barista, deli and pizza oven among other amenities, addresses one of the most significant issues brought up in the annual NFLPA grades that are released each offseason based on anonymous player surveys. The upgrades add a second floor to the dining area, as well as a glass wall that allows for a view of the Saints indoor practice facility.
The team said that the upgrade was a long time coming, but not spurred by the feedback or low grades. The construction required was pointed to as the impetus for the team to move its 2024 training camp to Irvine, California, so as not to interrupt the offseason program.
