Training camp schedule has 17 open practices

Green Bay Packers fans can set their calendars.

The team announced on Friday morning that its 70th training camp will be comprised of 17 practices open to the public. Like last season, the Packers will also conduct one private session the day before each of their preseason games.

Those public practices include the Packers' annual family night event. The 6:25 p.m. start time on Aug. 8 inside Lambeau Field marks camp's only night practice. As has been customary, the first seven practices will run at 8:20 a.m. at Ray Nitschke Field, beginning July 30.

The Packers then switch to a mid-day schedule. The following week the team will have two open practices on Nitschke Field, 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 10 and 11:45 a.m. on Aug. 11, prior to the preseason opener at New England on Aug. 13.

Following the preseason contest against the Patriots, Green Bay will hold four open practices (12:45 p.m. on Aug. 15, 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 17, 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 19 and 11:45 a.m. on Aug. 20) before heading into the preseason contest at Pittsburgh on Aug. 23.

The Packers will have two open practices, 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 25 and 11:45 a.m. on Aug. 26, leading into the preseason home opener vs. Philadelphia on Aug. 29. The team will hold one more open practice at 11:45 a.m. on Aug. 31 before wrapping up training camp and facing New Orleans at home in the preseason finale on Sept. 3.

Should inclement weather or any other factor force the team indoors, practices will be closed to the public due to space limitations inside the Don Hutson Center. Practice dates and times are subject to change.

Family night will take place inside Lambeau Field, featuring 11-on-11 sessions that will feature full contact. The evening activities get underway in the stadium at 5:30 p.m. and on-field warmups will begin at 6:25 p.m.

Players report to St. Norbert College on July 29, and McCarthy will hold his annual pre-camp press conference that day, as well.
