The New Orleans Saints will have a new and improved cafeteria for the 2024 season, which is good news because they received an F in that category on their latest report card.

The Saints are renovating their cafeteria this offseason. Believe it or not, team president Dennis Lauscha said the poor grade from the NFL Players Association didn't influence this decision.

Apparently, the Saints have been wanting to fix their cafeteria for a while now.

"I'll say this in the abundance of respect: Zero," Lauscha said, via NOLA.com. "It's nothing against their survey, but we had it on the books for a while to improve our cafeteria, improve the cooking area. ... The cooking area ... it's over 20 years old. It had to be changed. It had to be upgraded."

Since the Saints will renovate their cafeteria this offseason, the team will have to hold training camp in California.

"We can't get it all done by the start of training camp," Lauscha said. "I fully expect to be back in Metairie the following year when all renovations are done to the practice facility."

It'll be interesting to see what grade the Saints' cafeteria receives on their report card next year.
