The charming, yet slightly nauseating, story of a suburban nerd's love of the Cleveland Browns. And other stuff.

Full Training Camp Press Release

Here's the press release on training camp we got last week... I took out some media-specific stuff, and had to just point to the calendar where the practice times are given...

 

 

CLEVELAND BROWNS 2007 TRAINING CAMP OPENS FRIDAY, JULY 27th AT THE BEREA TRAINING FACILITY

AT&T presents Cleveland Browns Training Camp, in association with Cleveland Clinic Sports Health and National City Bank

The Cleveland Browns officially open the 2007 National Football League campaign with the start of training camp on Friday, July 27 at the Browns Training Facility in Berea, Ohio. Training camp practices are open to the public free of charge and conclude on August 23.

The Browns will be on the field a total of 22 days with 29 practices scheduled in Berea. Seven evening practices will take place throughout camp which will allow families to attend after the work day.  Please note that there is a capacity at the Berea Training Facility during training camp.  Once that capacity is reached, fans will no longer be admitted for the remainder of that practice. 

Children 12 & under will be selected at random midway through each practice session to obtain an autograph. Browns personnel will distribute brown and orange tickets, which can be redeemed following practice at the appropriate color-coded Player Autographs tent. Player signings at each tent will not be announced.  Browns players and coaches may be available along the fence after practice for those who do not receive the ticket to the children’s autograph session.

In addition to post-practice autographs, fans can purchase Browns merchandise and enjoy concession stands featuring Donatos Pizza.

Parking is free and is located at Baldwin-Wallace College. All fans are to enter the practice facility at the Beech Street entrance. Handicap parking is available on Front Street at the Berea Recreation Center. A free shuttle to training camp will be available in front of the parking lot at Berea Recreation Center.

If practice is moved indoors due to inclement weather, it will be closed to the public. Fans will not be permitted to watch any practice(s) in the indoor training facility. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. All practice times and dates are subject to change.

FAMILY NIGHT AT CLEVELAND BROWNS STADIUM

The Browns and AT&T present Family Night at Cleveland Browns Stadium, in association with Cleveland Clinic Sports Health, cleveland.com and National City Bank, on Friday, August 3rd at 7:00 p.m.  The team will break away from their daily training camp practice schedule in Berea to practice at Cleveland Browns Stadium.  Fans can enjoy music, inflatables and numerous giveaways starting at 5:00 p.m. outside the Stadium on Alfred Lerner Way.  The evening will conclude with a special fireworks show.

Tickets for Family Night are available at www.clevelandbrowns.com, the Cleveland Browns ticket office, www.ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster locations or by calling Ticketmaster (216) 241-5555.  Tickets are $5 with proceeds benefiting the Cleveland Browns Foundation.
