YoloinOhio Posted June 2, 2020 Author Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) I wonder if some players who have places they already own/rent will host others? Probably not the best for Covid though Edited June 2, 2020 by YoloinOhio
Charles Romes Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Good. We have the best training facility in the league and too many moving parts with moving to camp while social distancing. 1
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 All of this stinks. But so long as it increases the chances of regular season ball, we can live with it. my big concern is once we start playing preseason games, and teams get positive cases—- hoping that that doesn’t cause widespread panic and delaying Or canceling the regular season. Hopefully they have a plan in place because positives will be inevitable.

Wacka Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Will hurt the Cowboys. Yje have training camp in SoCal. Have to have it this year in that oven of Texas.

blacklabel Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 No change for 22 out of 32 teams. I gotta assume most players and coaches prefer holding camp at home. I know there are some coaches that see those three weeks away from home as a way to bring a team closer together, but this just makes more sense.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 5 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: I wonder if this Bills regime secretly prefers this Of course they do. This gives them the perfect out to not return to St. John Fisher. It costs too much money and there is no need to have camp away from your state of the art training facilities. I get it that it is a fan favorite and I admit the last training camp I saw was in mid-80's in Fredonia. But I just don't see the need for the travel to Rochester to train. Hold a joint practice there once a fall. That would be well received and well attended.
TigerJ Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I'm about 20 minutes away from St. John Fisher now, and I went over to training camp once last season. I enjoyed it and will miss it this year if they don't do it. It the league does dictate that they stay in their own facilities, I assume it's to avoid the challenge of trying to get fans to practice social distancing at a facility that does not lend itself to thge practice

Maybe the Bills will put the rookies up at the Red Carpet Inn next to the stadium. God help the Red Carpet after those few weeks!!!!

Dorms usually have communal showers, which are a big no-no according to guidelines for re-opening sports. They will stay in a hotel, with private showers, one player per room.

I would think that it would be a lot easier for the team to use their own facilities.

I’m probably bias because of that, but I’m not sure how well the season can function with regular testing. It would bring up way too many potential issues.
GunnerBill Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I think the Bills at Fisher might be over for good. They are contracted for next year but could easily compensate for that if they wanted to and there was no move to extend as I understand it even before this.

Yeah, the “company line” has always been to say how much they enjoy the environment, and I think McD certainly tries to get the best out of it, but now that they’ve built the culture, the team is experiencing success, and they have those awesome facilities in OP, the original reasons for going to Rochester (facilities, expand fan base) aren’t really an issue and staying in OP will save the team $$$. 1

What if after a game, it turns out 20 players test positive on each team? How can they be ready for the next week’s game in less than 7 days when most of the roster is positive? 1
