The NFL announced yesterday that all teams would hold their training camps at their own facilities, and there will be no joint practices allowed. Unfortunately, this was the right decision to make, in my opinion, even if it has a significant impact on the fan experience—perhaps an inevitability under any circumstances this year—and is a direct blow to our own work here, thanks to Alex Kozora’s highly-regarded training camp reports.
The fact of the matter is that transporting teams some distance to a completely separate facility is an unnecessary luxury that the NFL should not be indulging in right now.
