I checked another item off of my football-related bucket list when I visited Steelers’ training camp on Thursday. Here are 15 thoughts and observations from my time in Latrobe, with some “awards” thrown in for fun at the end.
1. LATROBE
Latrobe is an amazing setting for training camp. The campus is idyllic, with beautiful brick buildings amid rolling hills framing pristinely manicured grounds. I’m a sucker for a newly-mowed football field, with the scent of fresh-cut grass in the air. When I got my first glimpse of the practice area, I felt like Kevin Costner’s character in “Field of Dreams” surveying his creation in the corn.
