Fans may begin calling on July 26 the Jaguars Fans Training Camp Hotline for a recorded message that will provide the daily training camp practice schedule. The hotline phone number is (904) 633-6525. The message will be updated daily — and as any changes are made to the practice schedule — beginning July 31 through the end of training camp on August 24.
Training camp practice sessions will be open for viewing by the public from Saturday, July 31, through the morning practice on August 24. Bleacher seating, which will accommodate approximately 2,250 people, will be provided inside the fence at the Alltel Stadium practice fields. Restroom facilities and concession stands will also be provided. Concession stands will include food and beverages as well as Jaguars merchandise, including training-camp-specific T-shirts and caps. The Jaguars 2004 Media Guide will also be available for $10.
Fans should park in Lots M and N on the west side of the stadium. Video cameras are prohibited at practices, as well as horns, whistles and other noisemakers. Still-photography cameras are allowed.
Those fans wishing to get autographs are asked to do so after each practice session, outside the practice-field fence as the players return to the locker room. Groups wishing to visit training camp do not need to make special arrangements; they may watch practice from the bleachers.
