If you’ve never made the pilgrimage to the Steelers’ training camp, I’d definitely recommend making a point to do so. It’s held annually in Latrobe, PA, a bustling redoubt for wayward yinzers that is framed beautifully by the surrounding vista—a vast expanse of rolling hills, deep blue skies, and forests as big as oceans. The town itself is unimpressive even by small-town standards — you could drive through the whole thing in 15 seconds if you wanted — but not totally devoid of allure. The main boulevard, for instance, holds scads of aged-but-charming infrastructure. Saint Vincent College, where training camp has been held annually since 1966, is its foremost emblem, sitting just outside downtown, its unmistakable spires rising triumphantly from the hills and trees like, I don’t know, hogwarts or something.
