The date that it will begin is still uncertain, but a widely-expected move regarding the Green Bay Packers’ upcoming training camp is now official. On Wednesday, the team formally announced that players will not stay at St. Norbert College during this year’s camp, ending a tradition that the team has observed for more than 60 years.
According to the press release, the decision is driven by the NFL’s new protocols regarding camp, which require teams to use their own facilities as much as possible to limit the spread of COVID-19. As a result, all of the team’s activities will take place inside Lambeau Field itself and the adjacent practice facilities.
