Some teams put them up at a nearby hotel. Which is no different than be in a college dorm, except the amenities might be better.

Because we all know how “grown-up” most professional football players act. All of them always act so mature: never getting in silly trouble, etc. Give me a break. What a bone-head post. Of course, there are advantages as well as disadvantages of off-site training camps.

Pro:
The main advantage of off-site training camp is to immerse the player in training. You can’t do that when when they commute daily to camp and then spend time with their families in the evening creating less distraction from home life.

But is the disruption of a player’s home life a distraction by itself? Obviously, married men with small children are affected differently than single men.

As has been pointed out, for the Eagles, training camp at Lehigh is a money- MAKING endeavor.

Of course, in order to make money at training camps, teams need to have a loyal and passionate fan base. This will exclude the six teams in the running for the move to LA.
