Finally.. football season is here! The Jacksonville Jaguars reported to training camp last week, officially kicking off the 2008 season. Camp is open free to the public through August 6 with two practices held each day and trust me; there is nothing better than watching players battling it out on the field to make the team. It’s also a great, affordable way to experience the Jaguars!
At Monday’s practice, the highlight of the night was the Oklahoma drill - with one on one matchups between a defensive player versus an offensive player each trying to keep the other from scoring. Over 3,000 people showed up to watch the excitement as it’s always the highlight of camp for players and fans. The hands-on drill always gets the team pumped up and the crowd goes wild watching the action.
After practice, as the players walk back to the stadium they normally sign autographs and stop for pictures. I’ve got a growing collection of player autographs and pictures over the years just from hanging around after practice. I’m still missing an autograph and picture with my favorite player, Fred Taylor though! He’s a tough one to catch! It’s also a great place for kids to have a "brush with greatness" to see their favorite players up close and personal - even if it just for a brief moment!
Call the Jaguars Fan Training Camp Hotline at (904) 633-6525 for the daily practice schedule. Tickets are also on sale now for the preseason games, August 9th against the Atlanta Falcons and August 16 against the Miami Dolphins. So, break out your teal and black clothes - and get in on the action of Jacksonville Jaguars football!
