In a statement issued yesterday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that training camps will be held at team facilities this summer, which ends a 54 year tradition for the Pittsburgh Steelers and St. Vincent College in Latrobe. But according to Gerry Dulac of the Post-Gazette, the Steelers may have been forced to stay in the South Side this summer even without Goodell's mandate since the college is unlikely to even house it's students on-campus in time for the start of the fall semester let alone an entire football team for a month or even longer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
