IRVING, Texas -- On Wednesday Baltimore announced it would host training camp at its practice facility and not at McDaniel College because of the prolonged lockout and likelihood that training camp will be shorter than normal.
The Cowboys have said they would hold camp at the Alamodome in San Antonio this summer and not make the trek to Oxnard, Calif. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones did not rule out split camps in the future, however, this is the last year of the agreement between the Cowboys and San Antonio.
What if a new collective bargaining agreement comes together in the middle of July and camps start in August? Would it make sense to go to the Alamodome only for a couple of weeks?
From an economic standpoint, I can see the Cowboys wanting to go to the Alamodome because of the ability to sell t-shirts and the like. It would also mean they could go somewhere else in 2012. From a football standpoint, it might be wiser to hold camp at Valley Ranch and have select practices at Cowboys Stadium in order to give the fans a few of their team. Because of a lack of parking and stands, fans would not be allowed to watch practices at Valley Ranch.
With Jason Garrett holding his first training camp with a new defensive staff, I'd lean more to having camp at Valley Ranch.
