The City of Prescott submitted a proposal Friday to become the new host of the Arizona Cardinals training camp.

In the proposal, the city said it was working in cooperation with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and others to bring the team to Prescott, whose three-year deal with Northern Arizona University expired at the conclusion of the 2012 camp.

"Our goal is to provide a new, permanent summer home for the Cardinals as part of a sports complex that would offer nearly year-round opportunities for youth and amateur sports events and camps," said David Maurer, Prescott Chamber CEO in a press release. "Until the sports complex is built, Embry-Riddle would house the training camp for at least one year."

Earlier this week, the team requested the city of Glendale consider hosting the team's camp.

The Cardinals have held camp at NAU for the past 25 years.

    NOOOO!
    Too bad this is happening. Sounds like NAU up'd their fee and the Cardinals went looking for leverage. Glendale is a terrible option and Prescott doesn't have the same quality.

    They are not going to do 2 a days in Glendale @ 115 degrees in August. They are just blowing smoke.

    Prescott would be a GREAT place for training camp... The weather is nicer than Flagstaff and if you read the artice they will build a new facilty.. In the meanwhile Embry Riddle is a georgous campus until then.

    Prescott would be a great spot! Not as far from the valley, new proposed facilities, the players would still get the high altitude conditioning, and it's a beautiful place to visit for fans looking to escape the heat of summer. However, I have also enjoyed Flagstaff/NAU over the years as well. No to Glendale!!
