New York Giants Relocate Training Camp to West Virginia Under John Harbaugh

The New York Giants will conduct their first training camp under new head coach John Harbaugh away from their traditional facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Due to ongoing construction at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center and preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup at MetLife Stadium, the team will relocate to the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia. This marks the first time since 2012 that the Giants will hold their training camp outside New Jersey, having previously trained at the University at Albany from 1996 to 2010.

The Giants are expected to spend the first two weeks of their training camp at the Greenbrier, a national historic landmark located in the Allegheny Mountains. The exact dates for the camp will be confirmed following the announcement of the NFL's regular season and preseason schedule in mid-May. It is anticipated that most practices during this period will be open to the public.

The decision to move training camp stems from significant renovations at the Giants' East Rutherford facility, which include upgrades to the cafeteria, locker room, weight room, and office spaces. These renovations are part of a broader effort to enhance the team's operational capabilities. The Greenbrier Resort has a history of hosting NFL teams for training camps, making it a familiar environment for professional football preparation.
