Raiders Relocate Training Camp to Costa Mesa

The Las Vegas Raiders have relocated their training camp to the Jack Hammett Sports Complex in Costa Mesa, California, to avoid the extreme heat of Las Vegas and promote team bonding. However, they face significant restrictions due to an NFL rule that gives territorial rights to the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams. Consequently, the Raiders cannot allow fans or local media to attend their practices, nor can they market the camp in the area, limiting their outreach to fans. Raiders owner Mark Davis acknowledged the challenges but emphasized the importance of team cohesion during camp. Coach Antonio Pierce reiterated that the goal is to foster a tight-knit team environment away from distractions. Despite the limitations, Davis affirmed that the decision to hold camp in Southern California was made with the players' best interests in mind.
