Training Camp Newbie

[jtm]

Always wanted to go to training camp and my dad and I are making the trip this Friday for camp on Saturday. Any tips other than the obvious to stay as cool as possible? How long do they typically practice before taking a break prior to the evening practice?

Can you bring a cooler? Do they allow alcohol or is this a water/gatorade only event? Can you bring chairs?

My only suggestion is to be sure and get there when it is scheduled to start. I took my time getting down there once and Fox called the practice early. I drove all the way down and saw like 10 min of practice.

You can't take coolers, but a lot of people take backpacks and duffle bags to put their drinks (no alcohol) in there. The morning practice is the better one to go to as far as temperature goes. If you want autographs, get there at least 30-40 minutes early because the QB's take the field way before everyone else and you want to get a good spot along the fence.

So I assume if you want to get close to the fence, then don't bother bringing fold up chairs? How long does practice last normally?

Practice is "typically" 90 minutes, but Coach has been going longer (at least 2 hours) most practices this year. As others have said, coolers and alcohol are not allowed, but yes, you may bring your chair to watch.

There is a 9 a.m. practice, then Saturday evening's practice will be in Gibbs Stadium, and the Tailgate BBQ party begins at 4:30 p.m. and continues through practice.
