Pittsford, N.Y. (WGR 550) - For the first time since 2019, the Buffalo Bills will return to Rochester for training camp
After being forced to hold training camp for the last two years at the ADPRO Sports Training Center in Orchard Park, the Bills announced on Saturday they have agreed to a one-year deal to return to St. John Fisher College in Pittsford for training camp in 2022.
"We've always enjoyed the set-up there and Sean and I both are strong believers in the camaraderie that you get and the bond you can build," Beane said in a team statement. "Guys aren't feeling the pressure to get home or anything like that, and that's important. Obviously, we're getting ready on the field but the trust that you build up with your teammates and coaches and staff is just as important, especially when you hit the rough patches, which every team hits at some point during the season."
A big factor that also led to the Bills returning to St. John Fisher in 2022 is the fact that fans will be able to attend practices.
"It doesn't really work at Orchard Park, and we missed that the last two years as well," Beane said. "So, it gives our fans a chance to be up close and watch us get started in camp. We're very excited that they'll be able to come watch us practice."
This upcoming season will mark Year 21 the Bills have held training camp in Rochester.
Dates and times for training camp practices will be announced on a later date later this year.
