Where do players stay this year during TC? A Hotel? Go Home?

They had the dorms at Mankato. I hope they don't go home. I think its good to stay with each other during camp - it helps build team chemistry etc. 
Anyways, anyone know what the team will do? Is there a Hotel near the new facility?

Was wondering that myself. Lotta memories of players hauling in window air conditioners and riding from dorm to field and back on bikes. I'm not aware of any overnight facilities at the new camp, so maybe the dorm lifestyle of training camp is just a thing of the past?

What about some of those 90 guys invited who don't have homes here?

they will likely get a long term hotel room.  and actually the roster limit is 90 and about 50-55 or so were on the roster/psquad last year so only maybe 35-40 need a place to stay.

It is weird that they won't be hanging in Dorms anymore. and Yeah, I think your right - a thing of the past. Bummer though, a great team-building experience lost. 

I don't know, but Maybe they can pitch tents on the property / field - Bring out some BBQ's, have some fire pits to cook smores and roast marshmallows and tell scary stories to each other at night. :#

The Rams when they were in St. Louis would stay at the Embassy Suites Hotel. It was connected to a Convention Center I worked at. They had meetings (with meals) sometimes in both those places too (if they were talking X and Os or logistics I don't know). So I would assume they will make a deal with a Hotel or something. I kind of wish it was on property though. That would be so much cooler.

Thats my bet too -- some long stay place that will bus them to and from TCO.

Camping   maybe  we can all pitch  tents together a special bonus  if   your zips  neighbor in the morning  could u imagine  how  happy he would be after sleeping all night on the dirt  I would not want to be the first person  he saw  in the morning

Now that I think about it - I believe a Hotel is going to be built as part of the future development plan by the Wilfs of all that property they now have. So that will probably house the players in the future. 

For now - I think others are correct in the idea that they will stay at some long term stay place and get bussed in. That will be one smelly bus after a long summer practice.

Yep.
