Arizona Cardinals: Training camp dates announced
By Scott Allen
The Arizona Cardinals are just a little over a month away from putting on their helmets
The date all of Birdgang has been anticipating, the start of training camp in Glendale for the Arizona Cardinals. On Monday, the team announced the first practice at University of Phoenix Stadium will be on Saturday July 22nd.
That practice will be just under two weeks from the start of the Cardinals preseason. This year they are participants in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio on Thursday August 3rd. They will be playing the Dallas Cowboys.
While reporting day is on Friday July 21st, the team will hold its first open practice to the public on the 22nd. In all, there will be a total of 18 practices that fans can attend. One of them will be the Red-White Scrimmage on Saturday July 29th.
All practices will be held from 2:00-4:30 as it has been in recent years since the team moved their camp back to Glendale from Flagstaff. Also as it has been in the past, all parking and admission to the practices are free.
