I find the concept of holding training camp at a remote location archaic. It seems to me that it is based on MLB model, but it is from an age gone by. These players are professionals, if living in a tiny dorm room for three weeks is required to make them focus then they need to change careers.

it is marketing regionalization of the team for fan purposes....Rochester and east bring thousands of fans...the Toronto Series was financial regionalization to attract investors to keep Buffalo in the reion no less when RW eventually passed...........Pegula solved that conundrum...........

I was going to post , TC at SJF creates so much buzz here in Rochester. It really is a great opportunity for folks further east to get connected. Excellent Facility.

We locals appreciate the gift

Just bought plane tickets to go visit my father in Rochester. Will be at tc the last day of camp with him. He turns 93 the following weekend. We last went to camp for the 2nd day two years ago. Since I rarely post, none of you feel you know me, but I've been reading most of your posts daily for many years.

I get that part, but I hated living in a dorm when I was 18. I just can't imagine that grown men, who have worked incredibly hard to get where they are not to mention they are millionaires like living in a cinder block room.

Looking for my clipboard now.

If you come out to training camp, come over and say hi.

I'm always top right as you face the stands.

I've never been to camp. Am I really missing anything?

How will you ever know if you do not try ?

If you have kids in the 8-13 years old range that like football, they will love it. For adults it depends on how much you like watching the players run through drills. But the Bills and SJF do a great job, it is comfortable, clean, easy to get to with the shuttle busses, and free (except for the $1 shuttle bus charge for adults). They also have a Bills Store there to sell you some merch like jerseys etc.as well as some free stuff like Bills car magnets.
