No AFC team has held its training camp in the same location longer than the Pittsburgh Steelers, who return to Saint Vincent College for the 53rd consecutive year.
 
"We are proud of our long history with the Steelers," college president Br. Norman W. Hipps said.

Players report to camp on July 25, with the first open practice for fans beginning at 2:55 p.m. July 26. Fifteen practices will be open to the public, one of which will be held at Latrobe Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m., Aug. 3.

Last year saw the Steelers Charity Walk added to the training camp schedule for the first time. This year, the event to benefit The Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research will be held July 28. Merril Hoge will host fans for the two-mile walk, which will begin at 9 a.m. The cost is $30 for basic registration, which includes a T-shirt. Registration and additional options are available here.
