Cleveland Browns to open training camp on July 27
By Thomas Moore
The Cleveland Browns will return on July 27 when the team holds the first of its 15 training camp practices open to the public.
The Cleveland Browns will continue to put the 2016 season behind them when the team opens training camp on July 27 at team headquarters in Berea.
That day will be the first of 15 training camp practices open to the public, according to the team’s website.
Veteran training camp attendees will notice a new look this year as the Browns have changed the layout of the practice field and added additional seats, including a 1,250-seat grandstand with an area for standing-room-only tickets, Dave Freeman, senior vice president of marketing and media, told the team’s website:
"“We have spent a significant amount of time discussing how we can really elevate the training camp experience for our fans, especially as it is a unique time for our team, coaches, players and fans to directly interact with one another each day. To create the best atmosphere for everyone, including our football team, we made significant changes to our seating and viewing areas, as well as adjusted the registration process, so fans can plan accordingly yet still have the opportunity to freely attend and have a great view of our practices.”"
The public practices are free to attend, but fans are encouraged to register for tickets through the team’s website or by utilizing the Browns Mobile App, which must be downloaded. Once they register, fans will receive their tickets through the app.
The Browns will also admit walk ups if space permits.
Season ticket holders will have first shot at tickets as they can register from June 20 to June 21. Remaining tickets will be available to the public beginning on June 22 at 10 a.m. Fans who want to attend a practice can choose up to three practices, and the team restricts requests to no more than four guests for each practice.
The team also announced that it will hold its Orange & Brown Scrimmage at FirstEnergy Stadium on Aug. 4 at 5 p.m. Season ticket holders may register for the free event starting on June 27; registration for regular fans will open on June 29.
