SteveFreeman22 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I've never been to a night practice,going the 25th,been to some afternoon ones where it was pretty crowded.Thought the reason they gave out tickets to the night practices was so it wouldn't be as crowded?

It is. It would be way overcrowded without tickets due to the people that can go after work.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions. Very much looking forward to my first training camp session.
mrags Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks. Good illustration. Seems like a pretty long walk. It is difficult to judge from the pic. Approximately how far is the walk? its really not far.
CountryCletus Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 The closer field, the football one, is where most of the activity is so you generally don't need to walk the full path of the red line in the picture. One more thing, since you have a 4 year old, right along the red line in the picture about at the end zone of the football field, they have a play area for kids that has football themed games and bouncy house type of stuff for young kids. Kids love it One caveat though, I believe they did a bunch of work there since last camp so the layout could be very different now. Since they made the far field full length I haven't seem them use the first field for anything other than special teams... I guess they use it more for night practices, but I go for the morning/afternoon practices...
frogger Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 You're going to love it, I actually like training camp more than going to games. You'll be closer and you're with only serious sober fans. Bring a dollar a person for the shuttle.
3rdand12 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Johnny H. Boy oh boy. Taking Pops and the Boy to a Bills practice . How awesome are you . Very awesome . I would carry your cape , but i am working that day .
CountryCletus Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 7/21... Hmmm... Speaking of carrying the cape... I may be able to go and meet up with you if you are interested....

I would carry your cape , but i am working that day . Haha...thank you very much. My father had season tix for about 20 years before his health declined. He always, always brought me to the games even if he probably could have had more fun bringing one of his buddies. I figure it's the least I can do. As far as my boy goes, he has no choice in the matter, he was born a Bills fan. lol. 7/21... Hmmm... Speaking of carrying the cape... I may be able to go and meet up with you if you are interested.... Most definitely. PM me if you are there.
CountryCletus Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Has anyone seen a list of players in the autograph tent for training camp, or does that start after the HOF game
mrags Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 7/21... Hmmm... Speaking of carrying the cape... I may be able to go and meet up with you if you are interested.... if your planning on going on the 21st. You can swing by my place on your way and pick me up. I'm off that day. Already planned on going on the 20th for the night practice.

Not sure when they post the list. http://www.buffalobills.com/team/training-camp/autograph-zone.html

CodeMonkey Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) The list is posted now. EJ Manuel and Thad the Impaler in the autograph tent(s) today! Though it looks like they have it setup different this year. Two tents with one player each instead of one tent with 4 players like previous years. Thanks Cletus!! Good advice there. My son is 4, so I plan on trying to get him some autographs. His favorite player is Fred Jackson, so I hope he will be signing. Will they allow me to join my son in the autograph tent, given that he is so young? FredEx is signing tomorrow, 7/22! Edited July 21, 2014 by CodeMonkey
CountryCletus Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Thank you much!! Good info. Is there a long distance to walk from where the shuttle drops you off to where the practice fields are? Thanks Cletus!! Good advice there. My son is 4, so I plan on trying to get him some autographs. His favorite player is Fred Jackson, so I hope he will be signing. Will they allow me to join my son in the autograph tent, given that he is so young? What's your mailing address? Freddie autographed my daughters Play 60 shirt, I'm sure she would be more than happy to send it to him... Can even send a picture of him signing it...

FluffHead Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Do they still practice outside if it's just rain and no thunder/lightning? Thinking of coming out Monday but it's saying 60% rain. It's the only day that works for me this year but it's too far for me to drive if there is a chance practice will be inside and closed to public.
