Camp Attendance Question

according to a veteran BBIer the press mobs camp on Friday because it's the first day and also it's the least interesting day practice wise

there are alumni autograft signings during practice for everyone and the first 400 kids that sign up and get wristband passes are allowed to an autograph session for kids only after practice

don't get there too early -- because it's hot and you are on concrete - even the shaded areas are pretty hot and there's not much going on

practice starts at 10:40 and lasts about 90 mins

For my kids to be in the 400 that gets autographs, do you have to get there super early? Thx

is there super early -- I think 15 mins before practice should be sufficient -- depending on how young your kids are -- for some kids practice can be pretty boring

I took my 5 year old grandson there and I now think he was too young at the time for it -

Even kids MY AGE, practice is quite boring

since much of the action takes place far away from the viewing areas.

It looks like the whole bleachers will be nicely shaded this year.

Sorry about the size.

that's a definite upgrade!

what positions are signing which day? I would avoid QB and WR day. QB day last year the bands were gone super fast. We got shut out. Eli to his credit signed for every kid that had a band. I went two years ago with Db's and had no issue.

they only preannounced the alumni signers -- they are only announcing the players who will sign for the kids the day of -- so no prep help there - they are looking to avoid last year's problems

Yea... looks like they did a nice job. I'm sad that my kids won't be able to enjoy the real training camp experience... but at least the Giants have kept the fan experience in mind (where it doesn't interfere with practice). I was very happy to see these shaded bleachers.
