"Whenever Bengals training camp does open in late July, it should be a unique scene.

Of the 19 teams that train at their home facilities, only three others are adjacent to the stadium – New England, Houston and Jacksonville. None of those teams, though, hold regular practices inside their stadium. The aforementioned three teams have lights on their practice fields. In order for the Bengals to be able to do that, they would have to install temporary lighting.

With the development of The Banks, the only place that could mirror that is New England, which has the Patriots Place development adjacent to Gillette Stadium and the practice fields. Foxborough is out in the middle of nowhere.

The one thing that is certain is that no other team holds their camp downtown.

Currently though there are more questions than answers. Will veterans and rookies be in a hotel during the three weeks or whether veterans will have the option of staying in a hotel or at home? How do you replicate the access that fans enjoyed at Georgetown and in many cases how do you improve it? And what are the special events and attractions going to be that the team touted in its release?

One thing to expect is that most sessions are likely to be on the practice fields."
