OXNARD, Calif. – Jason Garrett, who once starred at quarterback for the San Antonio Riders of the World League of American Football, stressed to me earlier this summer that he has a warm spot in his heart for San Antonio and has always enjoyed training camp at the Alamodome.
But Garrett also enjoys working out in Oxnard, where fans gave the Cowboys a warm greeting when practice kicked off Sunday.
“It’s a fantastic place,” Garrett said. “We have had great times here. The people of Oxnard are outstanding. We have such a good feeling about how everybody treats us here. The weather is great. The facility is great. The fields are great. All of that stuff.
“As much as anything else, the reception we get from the fans here and from the people who help facilitate this training camp is outstanding.”
Temperatures were in the 60s on Sunday with overcast skies, optimal weather for the lengthy afternoon practice Garrett conducted.
“The guys who have not been here before are kind of looking at me like is this how it always is?” Garrett said. “It’s a special place and we’ve had great times here. We look forward to having training camp here.”
The Cowboys are under contract to train exclusively in Oxnard through 2014. A split camp between Oxnard and San Antonio is a possibility in 2015.
