The only reason I dont point the finger at Jerry for exactly what you say is that Landry held camp there also.It’s the smart move. Many NFL teams were already doing TC at home facilities. The old travel out of town model of TC is extremely outdated. The only reason Jerry has continued to do it IMO, is he believes it broadens the fan base.
Yeah I live in Allen now.....would be nice to finally get to go to at least one session.I hope they let fans go. I used to go down to SA when it was there a few years back. Would love to go again now that it is in TX And not CA.
My nice comfortable bed at home with my GF and/or wife?Sea breeze off California versus blue northers out of Oklahoma, I know what I would pick.
It was a completely different era. In Landry’s era, players needed training camp to get in shape. And the thinking in those days was players needed to be isolated from family so they could “concentrate” on tc. Modern players don’t need that.The only reason I dont point the finger at Jerry for exactly what you say is that Landry held camp there also.
I suppose it allowed outdoor work without tremendous heat. Not sure of the huge advantage.

this guy is always a day late
nothing to do with Jerry, its not outdated jeez they had it in Thousand oaks then Oxnard ever since the beginning ..its called tradition it made sense to get more work in a less harsh environment.. if they wanted to get them in shape they have it outside in Texas summer given most of the stadiums were outside that makes sense, now that they are inside it doesnt matter.,,It was a completely different era.

Seems a little early to conclude that, but this whole thing is about relative overreaction so there you have it.
Sorry to those of you who would make the trip to Oxnard, or live locally and attend.
