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.

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.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
