SAN ANTONIO -- The New Orleans Saints could once again make San Antonio their temporary home as Tropical Storm Gustav looms outside the Gulf of Mexico, said Alamodome officials.

Team officials have been in contact with city officials about seeking refuge in San Antonio if Gustav heads for New Orleans, as some storm trackers predict.

Alamodome officials tell KSAT 12 Sports they are both willing and able to accommodate the Saints from Sept. 2 to 5 should the need arise, but since the turf will not be set at the dome, Saints officials have also been in contact with the San Antonio Independent School District as well, said SAISD Athletic Director Gil Garza.

The Saints would use one of the fields at the Spring Sports Complex on the grounds of Burbank High School to train before their scheduled season and home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There have not been any discussions about moving the game to San Antonio, said dome officials.

The Saints played three regular-season games in the Alamodome after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
