The Buffalo Bills will not be headed out to Pittsford for training camp this summer due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the NFL announced on Tuesday.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL has told all clubs that they must conduct their summer training camps at their team facility this offseason. This means the Bills will not take their camp to St. John Fisher College and will have to hold it at One Bills Drive in Orchard Park.
The Bills have had training camp at Fisher since 2000 in an effort to connect to the team’s fan base in the Rochester area. In 2019, nine NFL teams, in total, held their training camp away from their home facility.
During recent training camps, the Bills have the trimming their schedule at Fisher, and have done so the most since Bills head coach Sean McDermott took over. Last year’s camp only saw eight practices and no night practices, the oft-popular ones. The only night practice open to the public was held at New Era Field. But the Bills did hold joint-practices with the Panthers last year as well down at Wofford College.
