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.

| Re: Redskins Officially Announce Training Camp Move to Richmond/Ashburn Renovations It's an 8 year deal to be at Richmond. Redskin park ashburn must be undergoing some seriously epic changes. If anyone is familiar with other HQ around the league ashburn is very poor in comparison to the Jets/Ravens. Sucks to never make the trip to Richmond but I can't wait for 8 years from now. Possibly a megalithic RG3 statue upon entrance? |

| Re: Redskins Officially Announce Training Camp Move to Richmond/Ashburn Renovations It shouldn't take 8 years for renovations to be complete. They are only hosting training camp in Richmond, the rest of the time they'll be at Redskins Park. Anybody know the estimated time for the renovations? With that said, I like that they committed to Richmond for 8 years. Good for them, and good for the WPers down there too. |

| Re: Redskins Officially Announce Training Camp Move to Richmond/Ashburn Renovations I guess a trip to Richmond won't be too bad.

You summ bitch... Quote:
Im really wondering where its gonna be then. From Chico's link Richmond city paid 400k of the 4 million so i would think its gonna be in the actually city. I think City Stadium is the best place to have it, great location with tons to do around it and extremely easy to get in and out of (however i believe there may be a 35 cent toll both at the City Stadium exit, id suggest taking the Cary Town exit right before). Plently of street parking in the surounding areas. Tons of people would also be able to walk there. I think there's some undevloped land so perhaps they could make it into multiple fields? Regardless the stadium needs a lot of renovation. Ive never been in UR's new stadium but from the outside it looks as nice as they come. I think it has a significantly smaller seating capacity than City. But probably still big enough (maybe 8k??). Definitely a bitch to get in and out of though. Flying Squirrels Field. The Giants' minor leauge bball team where you can go nuts! Maybe not the baseball field but there's a soccer feild or 2 behind it. Parking and accesability good but location doesnt make Richmond look too hot. Im gonna go outside the box and add Brown's Island. I was recently there for the River Rock sports fest (and a Boyz 2 Men concert.....), and i feel like it could be the prefect spot for training camp. Definitely big enough. Really nice location. Easy to sneak liquor into. Plenty of downtown parking garages and stuff. Not sure if its flat enough though. If outside the city is in the mix id place my money, unfortunitly, on RIR.
