chris heff Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 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.

chris heff Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 i thought MLB did it for weather purposes That is true which supports my point. NFL doesn't need to do it because of weather, so why do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) That is true which supports my point. NFL doesn't need to do it because of weather, so why do it?most teams don't do it anymore, which is why I thought McD might move on from it. I think it's more complex though than what he wants. That said there isn't any evidence that he wants to, I thought in the presser, he sounded like it was important this year in particular to gel as a team with so much "new" in place - but overall I got the impression he could really take it or leave it. Jmo of course, it was just my impression of how he sounded when talking about it. Edited June 21, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707BillsFan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Jumping into this a little late...Sucks training camp will be cut short a week. I drop my daughter off at Fisher a day after camp breaks. It's been a blast the three previous years getting to see camp. Oh well. My question, does anyone know if they'll have open camps once they get back to Buffalo? I know they have one in early August, but wondering about after the move. Â My two cents, I hope they stay at Fisher. It's done a lot for the Rochester area and with the money given to Fisher, it's helped them build up some nice facilities. It seems like a perfect match.

707BillsFan Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Bad humor ... she plays collegiate volleyball there, they start team training before college starts up. They've been there w/ the Bills for the past 3 season (many more before she arrived). Any yes, they're put into a different residential hall than the Bills.

They have some players designated to sign after each practice but often more guys stay (depending on when their meetings are). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) I've never been to camp. Am I really missing anything? 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.
