The New York Jets will return to SUNY Cortland for training camp this summer, the team announced Wednesday.
This season marks the fifth time in the last six years that the Jets will hold their training camp on the school’s campus in central New York. The campus is located about three hours from the Jets’ facility in Florham Park, N.J.
“The school and the community have joined together to continually provide a terrific backdrop for our team to come together at a critical stage of our season,” general manager John Idzik said in a statement. “I am pleased that we are returning to Cortland for training camp again this summer.”
Teams can begin camp 15 days before their first preseason game. The Jets can start as early as July 23, with its opener Aug. 7 at home against the Indianapolis Colts.
“I love the fact that we are going back to Cortland,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. “Everyone knows how I feel about going away. I think it is a big part of building our team camaraderie. The community, the school and the people of Cortland have been outstanding and we are all excited to be going back this summer.”
