Why Do The Saints Hold Training Camp In West Virginia?

The New Orleans Saints have pretty good facilities in Metairie. Why do they go to West Virginia to hold training camp? They go there because Greenbriar owner Jim Justice built them a home. Head coach Sean Payton caddied for Ryan Palmer at the Greenbriar Classic while serving his 2012 suspension. He reportedly fell in love with the place. Whodatzone.com reports Justice may be the biggest Who Dat ever. He's been a fan since the Archie Manning days. Justice built 30 million dollars worth of facilities, specifically for the Saints' use. He paid for it out of his own pocket. Then, there's the 250 million dollar Greenbriar Medical Institute, to be headed by renowned Dr. James Andrews. You know, the guy who reconstructed Drew Brees' shoulder. Here's an amusing side note: Justice says people sometimes mistake him for Bill Parcells.
