For the second straight year, the Buffalo Bills will hold their training camp at the team’s practice facility in Orchard Park, N.Y. instead of their normal location at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, a suburb of Rochester, N.Y.
On the latest episode of the Billieve Podcast, host John Boccacino discusses the future of Bills training camp, which has been held at Fisher every year since 2000.
The move to switch camp from Fisher to Orchard Park was made because of difficulties with ongoing COVID-19 protocols such as social distancing for non-vaccinated people, and it also comes as the current agreement between the team and St. John Fisher College comes to an end.
While head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane have always professed to enjoying holding training camp down the Thruway in Rochester, the Bills were one of only nine NFL teams not to hold training camp close to their team facility. The Bills have a state-of-the-art training facility, as well as two outdoor grass practice fields to use. Additionally, they can move inside the fieldhouse in the case of inclement weather.
Boccacino dives into the history of training camp at Fisher, including why the team moved its training camp Fredonia to Pittsford in 2000. He discusses the pros and cons of holding training camp away from home, speculates on whether camp will ever return to Fisher, and shares his training camp memories from Fisher.
