MarkB452 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Ran across the schedule on the team's website...don't remember hearing about this before, but here is the full (tentative) schedule: http://www.redskins.com/schedule/training-camp/schedule.html First day of camp is July 27 - bummed as the H'burg Senators finish up their series with the Richmond Flying Squirrels the day before. Aug 5 - Fan Appreciation Day Aug 13 - Last day No word on whether or not there will be any practices with the Baltimore Ravens.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveWarrior Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I can't wait until the deal with Richmond expires. Went there once. It was okay, but I really enjoy visiting the Northern VA area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the end money talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveWarrior Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 ^^^ I drive down from NJ, so having to go down to Richmond doubles the distance for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The joint practices don't necessarily have to be with the ravens. The years that we had joint practices, we played the ravens in pre-season but still chose other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeast Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Yeah I am not supporting Richmond. I have not been yet and probably will never go. I used to go to Ashburn and Carlisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that only because the Ravens are the only team we play in preseason prior to camp ending in Richmond.....and that game is in Baltimore.

Yes I do agree it would make sense, I did understand why you mentioned the Ravens. Our joint practices could be with them, but like I said, it doesn't have to be. I wonder when any announcement of a joint practice would come out. Sometime in the next two weeks maybe? The team only has 1 more week of OTAs and then mandatory minicamp before the 5 week break.

Any site in VA, or even surrounding states will be awesome, after my last 20 years in Texas. Hell, maybe I can even go to my first Redskins game at HOME! I've seen them about 6 times at the old/new Cowboys stadium(s), but never on home turf. Yep, rather excited, to say the least. HTTR....Oh, and not to ignore the topic, I WILL be in Richmond, absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Reparations Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 There were rumors of the team moving back to Carlisle for training camp. I am curious what the experience was like back then? I am sure the modern "fan experience" doesn't even compare but I think it would have been more enjoyable to attend due to less crowds, more player/coach interaction, watching SuperBowl Championships teams getting prepared for the season. Man I miss JKC...  Sorry for the rant...just feeling a bit nostalgic today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 I can not see Carlisle happening again....Danny is all about the money. Richmond has paid dearly and continues to pay for the opportunity to host training camp.  http://www.richmond.com/redskins-xtra/richmond-mayor-levar-stoney-will-welcome-redskins-for-training-camp/article_33a50e93-e68d-59e7-a78d-eb31c1f33759.html  http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2016/03/31/Facilities/Redskins.aspx   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
