The local T.V. news said the B&G may be looking to re-locate the training camp to Virginia Beach. I think it's wishful for all of us South of D.C., but hey, anything can happen, right?

I don't know which channel, I've searched WVEC, WTKR, and WAVY websites.
The Beach Blitz in VB is huge in the early summer, and there is a wonderful Sportsplex located there.

Mods, I've gone through the search mode here and not found a thread on this topic.

I realize that the upcoming game against da-haux is larger than life, but any news about the B&G here locally is both huge and awsome!

Personally, I don't see it happening because LDS would not want his beloved B&G outside of their normal home.
I think he likes the parking rights or something.

This sports plex is in dire need of $. It was one of those things where the city said if we build it people will come. Yea, now it sits there loosing money every day. I do not see it happening. Where would they stay and its in the middle of Va. Beaches biggest tourist season so housing is even tougher.

I'm not too familiar with the area, but are there college dormitories nearby? That is where most NFL teams stay during camp. Norfolk State is down there somewhere, Christopher Newport, ODU, etc. but again I'm not that familiar with all the locations. It is probably better logistically for the team to stay at the Park, but I didn't like it all that much the one year I went up there for training camp. Plus, Virginia Beach is Chris Cooley's favorite vacation spot (seriously Chris?)!

EDIT:

Redskins.com won't let me link to it, but if search :60 with Chris Cooley it will take you to my reference (stupid Redskins.com).

I don't know, can we trust Portis to behave at a training camp by a beach? :D
