    I thought I had the answer in which one of these Colleges require students, and staff be vaccinated before returning. But, if I read each school's policy correctly both colleges Do Not Require the vaccine for either their Students or Staff to return.

    Looking more and more like this may have been a front office decision not to go to Latrobe.

    Yes, and the fans are what pays the bills for all of the NFL. This is an entertainment business and you would normally want your supporters to be entertained.

    You would, but face it the players need to be on board with it too. These are a series of practices, not actual games so the amount of money to the NFL is minimal. And face it those TV contracts and advertising probably fund the NFL just as much as fans in the stands. They still made out like bandits last year.

    They should eat, breath and sleep football during training camp. St Vincent is the perfect place for this.

    Based on how they started out last year record wise, maybe they don't?

    Sure didn't end well.

    St Vincent's, None of the players like it. Oh well, to bad. It was total focus on the task at hand, good for the Fans and Latrobe.

    I just don't understand how other teams are allowed to return to there camp facilities.

    Religion? A reason? :lolol:

    And who said the NFLPA alone denied this? It was the league office as well.

    A shame, i've been to several training camps at St Vincent's. I still have a hat signed by Kevin Greene. It is my son's. He walked up to Greene, this towering figure. and asked Can you please sign this Mr. Greene? He also got several autographs that day.

    They will return next season i'm sure. As they should...

    I have attended training camp/s at St Vincent for over 25 years, this is as someone else stated is
    a win-win situation for players/community etc. The Steelers are treated like royalty and the Rooney's know this
    and appreciate the school and the tradition. Plus no outside distractions, just plain football, the way it should be.
