Training camp used to be a fan paradise—open fields, free access, and up-close glimpses into the NFL grind. For decades, the Eagles hosted camps at Lehigh University, turning summer practice into a community event that built deep fan loyalty. But in 2013, the NFL shifted to private, centralized facilities for better logistics and player comfort—sacrificing the public experience that made football feel personal. While a few teams still keep the tradition alive, most fans today never knew the old days, and those who remember them mourn the lost connection. That golden era of accessible, grassroots fandom may be gone for good.
