Dates set for Packers Training Camp

Posted

GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers recently announced the dates of practices open to the public for the 2022 Packers Training Camp.

This marks Green Bay’s 77th training camp, a tradition that began in 1946 under Curly Lambeau.

Practices are scheduled to take place at Ray Nitschke Field, while Packers Family Night will be at Lambeau Field.

The times for practices open to the public will be announced at a later date.

Training camp kicks off with a practice Wednesday, July 27.

It will be the first of three open practices in four days as part of the opening week, with July 28 and 30 being the other two.

The Packers will open the second week with three open practices (Aug. 1-2, 4) before Family Night Friday, Aug. 5.

Green Bay will have three open practices (Aug. 7-8, 10) before the first preseason game Aug. 12 at San Francisco.

Green Bay will finish off the open sessions of training camp with two joint practices (Aug. 16-17) with New Orleans before facing the Saints at Lambeau Field Aug. 19.

The Packers go on the road for the third and final preseason game at Kansas City Aug. 25.

Should inclement weather or any other factor force the team indoors, practices will be closed to the public due to space limitations inside the Don Hutson Center.

Tickets for Family Night go on sale Wednesday, June 29, at 10 a.m.

Tickets are mobile-only and priced at $10, available for purchase solely online through Ticketmaster at Ticketmaster.com. 

Important dates on the preseason calendar include:

  • Friday, July 15 – Packers 1K Kids Run (kids 10 years old and younger), 6:30 p.m.
  • Saturday, July 16 – Packers 5K Run/Walk, 8 a.m.
  • Friday, July 22 – Rookie players report
  • Monday, July 25 – Packers Annual Meeting of Shareholders, 11 a.m.
  • Tuesday, July 26 – Veteran players report
  • Wednesday, July 27 – First practice, Ray Nitschke Field, TBD
  • Friday, Aug. 5 – Family Night, Lambeau Field, 7 p.m.
  • Wednesday, Aug. 17 – Last practice open to the public, Ray Nitschke Field, TBD

According to the Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau, training camp, along with Packers Family Night, could attract approximately 90,000 visitors from across the nation and as many as 20 foreign countries, with a total economic impact estimated at approximately $9 million.

The Packers will not be using training-camp arrangements at St. Norbert College again this summer due to construction projects that are upgrading residence halls on campus.

Before 2020, St. Norbert had hosted the Packers for training camp since 1958, with players residing in an on-campus residence hall and eating dinner in the college’s commons.

The Packers will use their facilities at Lambeau Field for their entire training-camp operations, including practice, meals and meetings.

Returning to training camp this year will be the American Family Insurance DreamDrive bike tradition, which will take place in its typical format.

Kids are invited to bring their bikes to each open practice day and offer the players a ride from Lambeau Field to Ray Nitschke Field.

Due to construction on the east side of Lambeau Field, the bike path may be adjusted from the layout used in recent years.

Further information about fan activities at training camp will be announced in the coming weeks.
