I definitely had an issue when I went.  We arrived not long before start time and had to drive around the local neighborhoods to find a spot.  Might be worth arriving a half hour to hour prior to start to avoid that.  

If i go i plan on being there buttfug early

 

 

even just seeing players warm up is really neat to me. Im too old for autographs but ill sure as hell stand right where they come out and shout some words of encouragement

Overall, its hot AF. There is barely any shade so like he says, bring an umbrella if you can't stand in the sun. Sunscreen too.

There is no seating, so bring your own. I think they do bleachers for teh kickoff party now- but I don't think they keep them there through the duration of camp. There may be concessions now depending on when you are going (kickoff as opposed to 2 weeks into practice), but overall there is not very much access to food or drink other than what you bring yourself.

Autographs are very hard for adults, its a freaking cluster fug of kids and they stand there like, the entire practice to get a spot for when they come off the field.

Unless you have a friend like Jer, and a football helmet to stand on because the fence is so high you can barely see over it, AND Jeremy directing players your way for autographs- its very very tough to get one as an adult. You are better off showing up at a weekday practice in Charlotte and asking for the autographs.

Anyone else got dat VIP for the kickoff party? I know Riot has a bus of people going down there, but I managed to get a hookup with some suite owners.

 

Hope to see you all there!

I drove 3hr to TC last year and overall wasn't a bad experience.

Take an umbrella (it ended up raining)

Take something to sit on if you can sit on the grass

Enjoy yourself

Won't be making it this year but came up with a free app (for iphone) that people who go can use to share pictures and those who can't make it can view them.

I haven't broken the news to Luke that you are married yet. Best to let him down easy.

Is parking hard to come by? Plenty or packed to the brim? 

 

Thanks

Last year I went one day at the end of camp.  Parked in one of the shuttle lots and took the bus.  Easy, free, friendly folks... definitely a good option, assuming they keep the same shuttle set up as last year.  A plus, the shuttle lot was right across the street from Krispy Kreme.  Win-Win!

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
