3 53RD YEAR AT SAINT VINCENT COLLEGE The Steelers celebrated their 53rd Training Camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., this summer. Pittsburgh has called Saint Vincent College its summer home since Through their first three decades in the NFL, 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 fi rst four weeks of a fi ve-game preseason schedule. Then, after a loss in Green Bay to Vince Lombardi s Packers, Coach Bill Austin wanted the team closer 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 fi elds of their own at the time, the Steelers turned to Saint Vincent College. The team arrived in Latrobe on Aug. 29 and spent a couple of weeks on campus going through fi nal preparations for the 1966 regular season. In 1967, the Steelers conducted their entire training camp at Saint Vincent College. CAMPING OUT The Steelers held their 53rd consecutive year of preseason training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. Pittsburgh s 53-year tenure at the college is the second longest in the NFL for training camp longevity. Only the Green Pay Packers, who have held their preseason camp at St. Norbert College in DePere, Wisc., have maintained a longer summer home for 61 years. NFL TRAINING CAMP SITE LONGEVITY Rk.
