A few questions...

Are all of the practices open to public or just a select few?

Is there a ticketing system or do you just show up?

Thanks for posting!

My Experience

I have attended a couple of sessions at Dove Valley. They are absolutely free, just get in line and come on in.

You get to sit right beside the field for the Offense vs Defense Plays and Individual Workouts.

At times the players actally end up in the crowd. Its a unique experience. Shanny and other couaches don’t hold back at all infront of the crowd and let the players knowwhen thay screw up.

Lots of competetion between the players as expected.

Get some fluids as it gets warm.

Th Schedules do change and its a good idea to check the local TV News the night before as they have pretty up to date informaton.

good point on the "interactivity"

between the crowd and the team, which is why they have the rules regarding lawn chairs and umbrellas, methinks.

I mena, really guys, can’t you just see Nate Jackson getting run through by someone’s umbrella?

Thanks for the info, but

The dates in the schedule don’t match the calendar

Several things are listed as 2007

Beding disabled, I’m pleased to see that admission to the 2007 camp will be ADA accessible. I look forward to 2008 following suit :)

That's what I get...

For trusting the team’s press release…..I apologize. I copy/pasted the text from the release and it was all 2007 data. The schedule has been revised…

they're not joking around

about the cell phones or video cams. They will pick out of the crowd and toss your butt out.

Go to an afternoon session, if you go. It’s a lot hotter, but they sit you on a slope facing due east, so you’ve got the sun burning your retinas during the morning sessions. No umbrealls allowed, no chairs allowed, just a 45 degree slope. It’s murder on your back.

Faraz is right. Shanny was going crazy during one of the sessions I went to. They couldn’t get the famous “toro, toro, toro” drill right (they were calling it called it the “geronimo” drill back then, though) and Shanny made them put their pads back on and then run a bunch of sprints.

Looking forward to it

I will be there to see several practice sessions. Since I have days available during the week, I’ll stick to those and not the weekends (missing the bigger crowds). I live about 20-25 minutes away from Dove Valley.

My son and I are planning a Denver trip next summer to catch a Rockies series and some training camp.

location

i didnt seem 2 notice on the page where the broncos training camp is?
if anyone could answer me, please do

I don't know the address but the article says,

“The team will practice at its headquarters in Englewood, Colo., for a fifth consecutive year.”

Sorry but I don’t have a Denver phone book or I’d get the address for you.

If this be Hell, let us make the most of it!

from I-25....

head E on Arapahoe Rd (S of Denver). Turn right on Peoria (towards Centenial Airport)and follow Peoria until you see Dove Valley on your Left. The name of the road changes to Broncos Prkwy…but just keep going following the road.

by UnarmingMermaid on Jul 21, 2008 6:25 PM MDT   0 recs

thank you

to the two people that answered my question about the location
