LET ME START WITH BE CAUTIOUS WHEN PULLING OFF ROAD, LOTS OF DEEP WASH OUTS FROM RECENT RAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saint Vincent College will extend its campus hospitality to the Pittsburgh Steelers players, coaches, staff and thousands of Steeler fans for the 50th consecutive year this summer.Through their first three decades in the National Football League, the Steelers held their training camps at a variety of locations, as far east as New England and as far west as Wisconsin. In 1966, for the third straight summer, training camp for the Steelers was at the University of Rhode Island. The team was there through the first four weeks of a five-game preseason schedule. Then, after a loss in Green Bay to Vince Lombardi’s Packers, Coach Bill Austin wanted the team close to Pittsburgh because the 1966 regular season was due to open with a home game against the New York Giants on Sept. 11. With no practice fields of their own at the time, the Steelers turned to Saint Vincent College. On July 29, 1966, the Steelers arrived on campus and spent a couple of weeks going through final preparations for the season. The Latrobe Bulletin report on their arrival was secondary to reports about local baseball leagues and Arnold Palmer’s appearance in the 48th annual PGA Tournament. In 1967, the Steelers conducted their entire training camp at Saint Vincent College and have returned every year since then. CONGRATES AND FTF GO TO RICK+REESII Dog................
