Are all practices open to the public? Are they free?
Yes, all practices are open to the public unless the team goes indoors due to inclement weather. Practices are free except for special events such as Family Fun Day, August 6th, and another event to be announced. For those special events there will be a $12 admission with children under the age of 3 free.

Autograph Policy
An autograph period for fans will take place for a minimum of 10 minutes after each practice session at training camp. A designated position group will ring the fence line on the south and west side of the practice fields. A designated autograph area for kids 15 and under will be available in the southwest corner of the practice fields. In order to accommodate as many fans as possible during the allotted time, please limit your request to one item per player. Due to the anticipated size of crowds at camp, demand for autographs may exceed the ability of players to accommodate all requests due to the camp schedule, especially during two-a-days.

Fans are permitted to watch players come and go from the Indoor Facility to the practice fields, but autograph seeking will be limited to the designated times listed above. Autograph times and availability are subject to change based on changes in the practice schedule or inclement weather conditions.
