GREEN BAY − The Green Bay Packers will kick off training camp Wednesday, July 29, at Ray Nitschke Field.
The Packers will hold 12 practices open to the public, not including the annual Family Night on Friday, Aug. 7, at Lambeau Field.
Here’s a guide for those attending camp:
What fans need to know about open practice
All practices are scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m., with times subject to change.
As the team makes the walk from their Lambeau Field locker room to practice at Ray Nitschke Field, it’s tradition that fans line the route and kids bring their bikes to offer players a ride.
Fans can sit in the bleachers to watch practice.
While the practices are open, if there’s inclement weather or any issue that forces the team inside the Don Huston Center, practice is closed to the public due to space limitations.
