• What Len Pasquarelli says: Held at a college campus in a suburb of Rochester, N.Y., this is the kind of NFL training camp a lot of baby boomers attended while growing up. The small, tucked-away Catholic college has a great atmosphere and enjoys terrific architecture on its grounds. The school, run by the Basilian fathers, is 53 years old, but appears a lot older, largely because of the classic style of the buildings. There are bleachers set pretty close to the field from which to watch the practices, and the Bills tend to have a good share of evening workouts. One caution: There always seems to be some kind of construction work taking place at the college. It's an easy drive to St. John Fisher College from downtown Rochester, where there are a few surprisingly good restaurants.
• What to do besides training camp: Home to the Bills since 2000, St. John Fisher College counts team owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. among its biggest supporters. The training camp is considered one of the best in the league for fans, as it includes activities such as a quarterback challenge, obstacle course and football toss. The Bills are not the only sporting attraction, as Pittsford is home to the famous Oak Hill Country Club, which hosted the 1995 Ryder Cup. Otherwise, the surrounding area features two large malls, Eastview Mall in Victor and Marketplace Mall in Henrietta.
I know how many feel about Lenny P and ESPN, including myself, but this is kinda neat anyways. I love training camp and am very disappointed to not be able to go this year.
