I suppose it's possible this move to Richmond is temporary while these renovations are done over the next couple of years

Any word on the type of renovations? I would imagine they will increase the size of the weight room, but what else?

It seems like Bruce Allen and Shanny have really convinced Dan Snyder to spend money on improving existing facilities. That's good news. Guess this means the Skins won't be moving their operations to DC or Maryland any time soon.

Not sure, what I've heard is field improvements, renovated offices for the staff and an "enhanced fan experience"

What could that mean? Tours of the Ashburn office?

First off, I was mistaken the $25 million plus is part of the deal to keep the Skins in Virginia. Not the money that will be spent on renovations, though they are planning renovations/expansions

One thing I've heard is talk of a Redskins Museum (kind of like a little Hall of Fame but only for Redskins)

The "enhanced fan experience" means jello shots with Kyle.

Does that mean they will start charging again for that "Fan Experience".

Yeah that's my guess. It's good though, Redskins Park has been in need of an upgrade big time. I always wondered why Danny would spend so freely on players and yet have such average facilities.

I never go to training camp anyway, the Richmond thing doesn't mean much to me. I know we have plenty of Warpathers down there, so I'm glad they'll get a taste of camp so close to home.

Great campus...its a wooded campus in an older, established neighborhoods of Richmond. Unique campus for sure. You got really good spots close to the campus, The Fan, Museum district, and Carytowne, for food and drank.

And it's not busy since no one there actually goes to games.

As a person that has been to many training camps it sounds more fun then it is.
