Its real hard to get a great impression of the players from the stands. You are very limited in what you can see because when they are in individual and group activities, they are often too far away to see.Ian
Maybe it's time to coordinate the schedule for attendees and organize TC reports.
Perhaps a collection to compensate participants with dinner or merchandise?
Going 7/29. First time, can't wait.
Oh that's the day I'm going I'll see ya there
I'll be the guy with the shirt. Can't miss me.

Which is why I take with a grain of salt the accuracy of any media claims both good and bad. Or for that matter any claims by fans both good and bad....including myself. I was all aboard on the Ron Brace bandwagon his rookie year based on a few drills I watched early in camp. I was impressed by his quick first step.
Bottom line - I go to 3 or 4 a year, since I'm retired and only a half hour away. But as far as MEANINGFUL analysis, you can only get the barest of impressions. The best part of the experience in the interaction of being with fellow Pats fans, and the atmosphere of Patriots football. It would be great to meet in person some of the people I interact with so often online.
BTW- by all means try and go to the practices when they are in pads (which are rare these days). Watching them run around in shorts and t-shirts is like watching paint dry
I'll definitely be heading up from PVD for a practice or two.
The only thing I haven't figured out is who gets invited to that special training camp section? Is it season ticket holders?
I assume all the players from all 32 teams?? :confused2:
