I was trying to find something on their history of Training Camp locations. What we don't know is just what facilities in the area were available and/or suitable to the needs necessary to conduct Training Camp.

Many area Redskins fans have from time to time expressed the desire for change after the year we were charged $10.00 to park our vehicles, and another $10.00 to enter the facility. Some thought it was more about the money than about the fans enjoying the experience. More than 3,000 fans were on hand for the first day of Training Camp that year, and at $20.00 per. that's like $60,000 a day, leaving many to wonder what those proceeds went towards even though we know we're not entitled to an explanation.

Speaking about getting away, the Dallas Cowboys are on record as being the team that conducted Training Camp the farthest from their home playing field. They conducted Camp in Oxnard, Cal. more than 1,500 miles from home.
