SoulSkin Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Another side note about Church Hill. It is not nearly as bad as it's reputation makes it out to be and is considered a highly desirable place to live, on Broad St and south of Broad. It gets a little sketchier the further North you go. However, if you want a truly terrifiying experience on New Year's Eve, Church Hill should be your destination. There's some moronic tradition of people shooting guns in the air and shooting those green Electrical Transformer boxes in the area. Massive blackouts and erratic gunfire. Who doesn't like to ring in the New Year that way? Yeehaw!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I like the team to be away. I think spending training camp in Ashburn is no different from the rest of the season. I like for the team to get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tds Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Randolph Macon just installed a new turf field. There aren't too many distractions in Ashland and it's not uncommon for nfl teams to use small colleges in slower paced cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicnielsen Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Any idea when they are going to announce the training camp schedule for this year (or if they have already)? I've searched online and can't find anything. Looking to make my first trip down with the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi6 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Not thrilled to hear that. Wish they would continue having practices either in MD or DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spearfeather Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 http://www.nbc12.com/story/19415667/city-narrow-downs-redskins-camp-sites No matter which site is selected, city leaders expect construction to begin in January. NFL training camps typically are held from late July until early August.Neither Jones nor members of the committee would commit to a favorite location. Earlier this month, two sources with knowledge of the discussions told NBC 12 the Redskins showed "significant interest" in the Science Museum site, which is comprised of mostly undeveloped state-owned land behind the museum. City Stadium, on McCloy Street adjacent to the Downtown Expressway, is city-owned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portis for 6 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Cant wait, the rendering looks great. I have a vision of bums in attendance harassing fans if its behind the Science Museum coming from the Boulevard and Broad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a vision of bums in attendance harassing fans if its behind the Science Museum coming from the Boulevard and Broad. Hah, so do I. Although I read in the paper today that part of the criteria for picking a spot was to be able to revitalize the area and bring in new development. So, maybe that would help with that.

Jones announced Monday that a 17-acre site about two miles from downtown will be developed to host the football team’s summer training camp beginning in July of 2013. Bon Secours Richmond Health System (BSRHS), the project’s main sponsor, and the city plan to build two full-size football fields, a field house and a large spectator area on the parcel of now-vacant land off West Leigh Street behind the Science Museum of Virginia, officials announced.
