The Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2009 training camp will begin on Sunday, August 2 when all of the players on the team’s roster are scheduled to report. The first practice session will take place on Monday, August 3 at 10:45 a.m. on the practice fields northwest of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. Training camp practices will be open to the public for viewing through August 13.
To provide fans a better view of practices, the Jaguars for the first time will move bleacher seating onto the Field Turf field close to the two parallel grass fields. This arrangement will give fans a much closer and more enjoyable view of the practice sessions. Seating for approximately 1,400 fans will be provided.
Training camp will feature 20 open practice sessions in the first two weeks of August before the start of the Jaguars’ preseason games on August 17. There is no admission charge for training camp, and parking will be available in the parking lots surrounding the stadium.
