After spending the past two summers at Heinz Field, the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to resume training camp at Saint Vincent College in 2022.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve really missed sitting on the hillside and watching the Pittsburgh Steelers take the practice field at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA. The atmosphere was relaxed, and fans were free to get up, move around, or park themselves wherever they please.
Fortunately, we will be getting the opportunity to do this again in 2022! On April 20th Teresa Varley of the Steelers official website published an article stating that the team will be returning to their roots at Saint Vincent College for training camp this year.
Here is a statement about the return to Latrobe from team President Art Rooney II:
"“We are very excited to return to Saint Vincent College for our Training Camp later this summer. We always appreciate the support from Saint Vincent as well as the Latrobe community. We look forward to having fans back on campus as we will be preparing for the 2022 season. We thank Father Paul Taylor and the tremendous staff on campus for their continued support for our return to our summer home.”"
The Steelers first started holding practices in Latrobe all the way back in 1966. This tradition went on for 54 consecutive years before NFL COVID-19 protocol forced the team to stay in Pittsburgh in 2020 and 2021.
Steelers fans can rejoice again
For those who have regularly attended Steelers training camp in the past, I’m sure this was terrific news to you. Fans build some great memories in Latrobe, and we’re excited that this tradition will live on.
If you have not had the pleasure of attending Steelers training camp, I would highly recommend it! This is an excellent opportunity to scout out your team up close, snag some autographs, or maybe even get the opportunity to talk to a few players after practice.
Entry to Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania is free, and there’s something for the whole family. Training camp will kick off towards the end of July. Stay tuned for schedule updates.
