Buccaneers announce 13 open practices for training camp

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will hold 13 practices open to the public this year, including five on the weekends, the team announced today.

After experimenting with afternoon practices the last few years, every single open practice will be held in the morning this year. Season pass members will get two exclusive open practices on August 3 and August 8, while there will be an open practice for members of the military on July 31.

As always, parking will be free of charge and no tickets will be required to visit the open practices. Because the Bucs are constructing an indoor practice field, the parking spaces have been moved to the gate outside the western fence of One Buccaneer Place.

One other new sight for Bucs fans: HBO will be filming Hard Knocks during training camp. So I guess this will be a chance for some fans to get on TV, too.
