CoachChuckDickerson Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Would it of killed you to spell out St. John Fisher College, so we know what the heck the thread is about? By Clark JudgeCBS SportsLine.com Senior Writer My five favorite training camps 1. St. John Fisher College (Buffalo), Rochester, N.Y. It's a gorgeous setting, with the Bills' fields in the middle of a tree-shaded campus. The airport is close, the area is gorgeous, the weather seldom is intolerable and the Bills are accessible -- with players, GM Tom Donahoe and coach Mike Mularkey available for individual interviews on the field after practices. 2. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (Indianapolis), Terre Haute, Ind. Another small campus, with the Colts practicing at a gorgeous field surrounded by trees that stand tall and provide ample shade. The campus is beautiful and worth seeing even if your child isn't an aspiring engineer. Plus, you have the added attraction of seeing the world's best passing offense up close and personal. 3. Napa Valley Marriott (Oakland), Napa, Calif. It's a commitment to convenience, with the Raiders practicing just outside the doors of the hotel where they stay. It's a terrific location, close to some of the country's best wineries and within an hour of San Francisco. Plus, you don't have to go far for your next story; it's waiting for you beyond the swimming pool at the back of the hotel. 4. St. Vincent College (Pittsburgh), Latrobe, Pa. It's close to an hour's drive from Pittsburgh, but it's worth the trip. The school is small and picturesque, with dorms ringing a bowl where the Steelers practice. Everything here is reached easily on foot, and the Steelers are one of the league's most accessible and media friendly clubs -- with players and coaches available on the field after practice. 5. (tie) Lehigh University (Philadelphia), Bethlehem, Pa. Points are subtracted for the five-minute drive to the playing fields and for the sometimes tricky parking situation. But the school is attractive, the Eagles are one of the league's most accommodating clubs and you have a great lunch and great tunes awaiting you at Deja Brew, within walking distance of campus. Ask Reuben Frank or Phil Sheridan for directions. McDaniel College (Baltimore), Westminster, Md. Carroll County is beautiful, and so is this school -- sitting atop a hill at one end of town. What I like is how accessible everyone is, with coach Brian Billick inviting you into his office or GM Ozzie Newsome stopping by lunch to say hello or the Ravens lining up Jamal Lewis, Chris McAlister and Kyle Boller for you after practice -- and getting all the interviews done. What I like most, however, is the history here: This is where the Colts practiced when they were in Baltimore and Unitas and Berry played catch.
