Redskins Warpath – August 2019

6 Warpath AUGUST 6, 2019

There’s plenty of nearby parking within a short walk of

camp entrance. All city locations are $10, but there

are some private lots with variable rates, too. City lots

permit same day re-entry with parking pass. Lots

open 30 minutes prior to morning practice and close

30 minutes after the afternoon workout. Handicap

parking is directly across from the pedestrian en-

trance to camp.

Bottom line – don’t sweat parking. It’s not like Wash-

ington. There’s plenty of parking around the facility.

The only tough day is Fan Appreciation Day so arrive

early.

Parking

Training camp is free to all fans (even those mis-

guided souls who wear Cowboys jerseys. We still

can’t figure why they’re here.) However, the Red-

skins ask for fans to register online for passes. It

gives the team a better sense of attendance needs.

On Fan Appreciation Day, attendance may be limited

given the large crowd.

Camp is open to all ages, but there’s something for

the kids away from the field. The Play 60 youth fit-

ness obstacle course along with interactive tents and

giveaways are commonplace. Often, look for them in

the far end zone.

Seats? We don’t need no stinkin’ seats to watch

practice. Well, some fans might appreciate it. Here’s

the good news. You can bring your own chair and

there’s a hill by one of the fields where you can

watch comfortably. Of course, many youngsters

stand by the fence and you can, too. But, the hill is a

pretty nice place to watch practice. Remember,

chairs and bags will be checked at the gate by secu-

rity.

Food and drinks are available near the entrance

area by several local vendors. It’s the usual pizza,

chicken, fries and water, though past years have

seen a local restaurant or two offer some good

homestyle plates.

Check the Redskins.com schedule for special

events. There are skills clinics and special appear-

ances by past Redskins players and cheerleaders.

What’s the shopping like? There’s a pretty nice mer-

chandise tent.

And remember, the following items are prohibited at

the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training

Center: alcohol, illegal drugs, weapons, firearms,

glass bottles, video cameras and animals (except for

certified guide dogs assisting disabled guests). For

more information, visit redskins.com/trainingcamp or

redskin- srva.bonsecours.com.

Autographs

Players and coaches

often sign autographs

after the morning and

afternoon sessions.

Be sure to be along the

fence and have a pen

ready. Be polite because

players don’t like yelling,

especially by young fans.

And, just have one item

ready for signing.
