It's almost time! I'm so pumped.

I will be attending a bunch of training camp, so I will be posting a lot of pics and reports. I even have it set up so I can possibly do some live streams of practice, but I'm not sure if it's all going to work yet. We will see.

Was also thinking it would be a cool place for ASFNers to post when you are planning to go, as people could meet up like we do at halftime. Might be fun to hang out and talk football.

Ya'll dont have to use this thread to do the same, but it would be nice to have a centrally located place for this good stuff.

I know lots of people miss Flagstaff, but honestly I love TC here at the stadium. I miss the cool pines and the good atmosphere, but I dont miss driving to Flagstaff. I can go to 10-15 practices where as going to Flagstaff was an ordeal that I could only do once or twice a TC.

As long as the winning on the field continues, I can't really complain. If there is a direct translation between camp in Glendale and wins, then I hope it continues. Maybe training in the stadium gives the players a better feel on game days?
Will I ever go to TC in Glendale? No!
I miss the Flagstaff experience and thought it was, one of, if not the best TC experience in all the NFL. To lose that was a shame, no matter who was at fault

Im torn. I loved going up to flag for training camp. But I live so close to the stadium I can attend every day if I want.

That probably better. I'll go camping for the weather!

I used to go a few times when they were in Flagstaff. Training camp in Glendale doesn't interest me. But will appreciate the updates

Planning to go to both Saturday camp dates and the two home preseason games the following two Saturdays as long as my wife isn't in labor.

I for one am looking forward to it Bert. :thumbup: I've always enjoyed the reports from camp.

The experience of training camp in Flagstaff was 1000x better than it is here. Now it is like watching warm ups before the game.

Like I said, I just didn't enjoy the drive. This enables me to see more camp. Thats all

You're definitely old, like really, really just old. Never thought of you as bitter tho. :p

Hey, lighten up on the bitter old man. He just became a new daddy and he obviously is not getting enough sleep---------you rock Chloe

Flagstaff was great. I haven't been to a training camp at UOP - doesn't interest me.

All the years we went to flagstaff we loved it. Went every year they were there. You got so close to the players. They would talk to you and sign autographs for the kids face to face. Except for Emmett big shot. I've gone to a few camps here and they weren't as exciting from the stands. But if I could I would love to see our kids playing again.

Being an out of stater, the TC updates from various posters over the years. The pictures from Flagstaff were amazing and always made me wanna grab the kids and take a vacay out there for camp. The comments regarding Glendale make me feel like I really missed the bus but the writeups are still great. Keep up the good work, guys and girls!

There is zero energy out here today. These guys are all ready for the Chiefs I guess.
