Training Camp Location

[SC Skins Fan]

I'm not too familiar with the area, but are there college dormitories nearby? That is where most NFL teams stay during camp. Norfolk State is down there somewhere, Christopher Newport, ODU, etc. but again I'm not that familiar with all the locations. It is probably better logistically for the team to stay at the Park, but I didn't like it all that much the one year I went up there for training camp. Plus, Virginia Beach is Chris Cooley's favorite vacation spot (seriously Chris?)!

EDIT:

Redskins.com won't let me link to it, but if search :60 with Chris Cooley it will take you to my reference (stupid Redskins.com).

ODU is small and the team would have to travel 15 miles or so in heavy trafic. Christopher Newport is small and is about 20 to 25 miles away and they have to deal with even more trafic and the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel which at any giving time of the day can be a trafic night mare. The only thing that I could think of is them staying in a motel close to the site but I don't see that happening. If it did I could go by practice on my lunch break. Only other college is Norfolk State which is closer but the area around there is not the safest place in town.
