Training Camp On Hawk Hill
options
 

After previous seasons at Duke and Penn State, the 76ers are moving their training camp to Saint Joseph's University.

A source familiar with the situation said the move is not related to the struggling economy.

''Why travel if you don't have to?'' the source said. ''This makes it easier for the fans, the media, everyone.''

Saint Joseph's is scheduled to dedicate its new athletic facility next Friday. By training on Hawk Hill, the players and coaches would also be within a few minutes of their official practice site at Philadelphia College Of Osteopathic Medicine.

    Phil Lee - you must have a sad life to spend the time writing things like this? What drives you to be so pitiful. Sad. The sixers are predicted to be a top 4 team this coming year in the East or top 8 in the country.
