Open Training Camp Practices

NFL Training Camps will be opening in a couple weeks. That's always fun. Football is fun. It's so fun that many devoted fans enjoy watching training camp practices. I've heard some people say that watching a football practice is boring. Two things come to mind when I hear that. First, they are out of their minds. Second, if they find football practices boring, don't attend. Do something else.There are a lot of fans that enjoy football practices. Over the past few weeks teams have been announcing how many of their training camp practices will be open to the public. The surprising thing about those announcements have been the number of teams that are opening few to none of their practices to the public. How do the Oakland Raiders have zero practices open to the public? They are going to be on Hard Knocks. Their entire operation is going to be televised. Maybe that's why they are closing the gates to the fans. Or, maybe they are just focused more on Las Vegas than the fans that have supported them for most of the past half century. Anyway, here's a list of the teams that have announced their practice availability plans.
