The Washington Redskins are set to take the field, near the Science Museum of Virginia, on July 25 when training camp begins.

The team broke ground in February on the $11 million facility.

Redskins training camp will only last three weeks each year. So what will the site be used for the rest of the time? Casadonte posed that question to Mayor Jones.

“We’re building a better facility for the fans. It will have better sightlines than our current training camp. I think it will give fans from Charlottesville and beyond a chance to attend training camp,” Redskins General Manager Bruce Allen said during the groundbreaking ceremony.
