So, I don't know if Carlisle is a viable option in 2010, but I do think that a training camp away from Ashburn Va is a good idea.

Interesting you mention that because in 2000 the last year we were there a very good friend of mine had a Son that played football for Dickinson College. He would always talk about how much the school loved to host the Redskins in the summer. They had made an extra effort to make things as hospitable as possible. The players and coaches all loved it there and the town of Carlisle was so overwhelmed at the thought of the Redskins being there every year. They were good for business, and the people there had a love for the Redskins that's not easy to explain
