Giants coming back to UAlbany

posted Jun 8, 2010

ualbany giants campThe New York Giants announced today that they'll be back at UAlbany for training camp again this summer. The agreement also includes an option for the team to train there in 2011 and 2012.

Camp runs from August 1-20.

While the practices aren't exactly what we would call exciting, if you're a football fan it is kind of cool see the team up close. Just watching on TV it's hard to get a sense of how remarkably big and fast these guys are.

The Giants have trained at UAlbany since 1996. Fan attendance at last year's camp was 46,960.

This is exciting for me because my cousin was recently drafted by the Giants in the 5th round of this years draft. OG Mitch Petrus! Hopefully I'll get to see him in action.
