Calling All Campers

by Michael Bean on Jul 31, 2009 4:28 AM EDT

The 2009 season for the Pittsburgh Steelers is officially upon us. Training camp in Latrobe, PA is set to kick off at St. Vincent's College for the 43rd consecutive year. Being that I'm in Seattle for graduate school, I regretfully must say I won't be taking in any sessions at camp. That's where you potentially come in. If you have plans to attend one or more sessions this year and feel like sharing your experience with the ever-growing community here at BTSC, I'd be very much interested in working with you on posting your report(s) here for all of us to enjoy. Feel free of course to just write a fanpost or fanshot with your photos, thoughts, notes, etc from camp, but if you'd like to do something slightly more 'formal', definitely holler at me and let's talk. Much obliged in advance. - Blitz - (Michael B.)

Camp is the best.

Myself and Bruce have been reporting the AM and PM practices since camp started. Hope you guys get to show us what goes on in Latrobe, although I do not think it will compare to what camp was like this morning.

There was a Tornado Warning for Westminster around 2:35

Did you get a storm?

Yea

Our practice was over around 11:30. It was pretty nice out the whole day, but then it started raining super hard. The practice got moved to an artificial turf field on the other side of campus where training camp is held.

I left my house to go to the afternoon practice to take notes and pictures, but it started to get real ugly out.

Love camp

Taking a trip to the Friday night practice and the Saturday afternoon practice next week with a side-trip to Canton thrown in on Friday afternoon. I’ve been to Latrobe many times but not to the high school night practice. Anything I need to know in advance as far as differences in parking, etc…?
