CARDS TO HOLD ENTIRE TRAINING CAMP IN PRESCOTT
Tempe, AZ – The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has moved the site of its 2005 training camp to Prescott, AZ from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. A recent outbreak of norovirus on the N.A.U. campus led the team to move its camp from that location.
The Cardinals training camp in Prescott will be headquartered at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for the first half and the Prescott Quality Inn & Suites for the second.
“I cannot overstate our appreciation to everyone in Prescott who has bent over backwards to accommodate our team,” said Cardinals Vice President of Football Operations Rod Graves. “Thanks to some exceptional effort and support – particularly from the individuals at Embry-Riddle and the Quality Inn – we’ve been able to quickly secure a very positive situation for our training camp.”
Players will report this Sunday to Embry-Riddle and begin practicing on Monday. They will remain there through August 11 and during that time utilize on-campus facilities for housing, dining, and meetings as well as practice.
Following the first preseason game vs. Dallas, the team will return to Prescott on August 14 and base its operation at the Quality Inn, which also hosted the Cardinals during their four-day stay in Prescott last year. The team will break camp on Wednesday, August 24.
Throughout their time in Prescott, the team will have access to on-campus fields at Embry-Riddle as well as three other nearby locations – Keebler Field, Pioneer Park, and Ken Lindley Field.
All practices in Prescott will be open to the public and free to attend.
