Bengals Training Camp 2016

It has been a busy summer. The Cincinnati Reds are in the midst of massive rebuilding project, FC Cincinnati has captivated the city with its inaugural season, and as I write this, Cincinnati’s own Dean Ambrose is enjoying his first reign as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It’s a lot to focus on as the Reds, FC Cincinnati, and Dean Ambrose all have my attention every week, but my summer is about to get a bit more chaotic as the Cincinnati Bengals start training camp.

Training camp starts on Friday July 29 and goes until Thursday August 11. Gates will open 30 minutes before practice starts with most practices starting at 3 p.m. The only exceptions are when practice starts at 6 p.m. on Friday August 5, 1 p.m. on Saturday August 6, and 11 a.m. on Thursday August 11.

Practices are also held on the practice field right next to Paul Brown Stadium, and this year the Bengals will have two joint practice sessions with the Minnesota Vikings on August 10 and 11. The only practice not held on the practice field will be the Family Day event on August 6. The Family Day practice will be held inside Paul Brown Stadium and will feature a lot of activities and a giveaway for kids. If you are an autograph hunter like me, the family day practice is the best training camp session to attend as every player is available for autographs once practice concludes.

The Cincinnati Bengals training camp is a great way to check out the team up close and personal. It is really cool to witness the current players mix it up the rookie draft picks and see how well they mesh together. It is also a great opportunity to get some autographs from your favorite Bengals players! Attending training camp is something that I highly recommend as every true Bengals fan needs to experience it before the season starts.

Who Dey!
