May minicamps closed to the public

Press-Gazette

The Packers’ two minicamps in May won’t be open to the public, the team announced Friday. That means fans won’t get a glimpse of this weekend’s draft picks or how first-year coach Mike McCarthy runs practice until June.


The team will hold the first of two minicamps May 5-7, but the workouts will be inside the Don Hutson Center. The same goes for the May 19-21 session.

GRRRR, I was so looking forward to catching a glimpse of the new draft picks..along with Favre of course next weekend. I love mini-camps because it's a great time to watch a practice without all the tourists that flood training camp leaving you 3 people deep shoved together like cattle...along the fence.

AAARRRRGGGGHHHH. First time in 10 years I will even be in the STATE and they close the minicamps. First time in my LIFE I was gonna get to go!! I suppose they've found some other reason to lock down Lambeau that weekend as well!!!

Re: May Minicamps closed to public

GBM, you need to do whatever you need to do including flashing to get those pics!!!!

Can you just say you are a reporters for PackerRats.com?

[MJZiggy]

You need to get press passes.

You need to get press passes.

Can it be done? PR homepage will be a new site. What would GBM have to do to make herself official?

[MJZiggy]

She should call 1265 and talk to someone over in the press relations office and they will tell her what we would have to do in order to get in. She'll have to have a mock up of the site and probably a site map so they know we are serious. Actually, it might be better if you call as they might have provisions you can accomodate easily that you can agree to more readily than Michele. There has to be a way for it to be done, otherwise the local stations would never be able to get in.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Blame it on the GM. The GM hired the coach, and the coach said NO, then the GM is 100% responsible.

People thinks I dont know logic. They are wrong.

[MJZiggy]

No one said no, Tank. Pay up.

UPDATE:

Minicamp open to public


Minicamp practices today and Saturday will be held on Clarke Hinkle Field at 10:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. and are open to the public, weather permitting. The Sunday practice at 10:15 a.m. will be held in the Don Hutson Center and is closed.

OMG, I'm so there!!! I'm hoping that I can get a chance to ask Hawk if his myspace profile is really him as well !!

Pictures!

[GBRulz]

Yes, as Zig says... "we will have some hindsight" in regards to todays AM practice!

I probably can't make the afternoon one though, but oh well.

Since they just announced this morning that practice would be open to the public, I doubt many people will be there at all. That in general is why I love attending minicamps vs staying away from training camp. 1 row deep at the fence or 4...I choose 1

[GBRulz]

ok, I admit I need a copy of a roster so I can pick out the players, especially the rookies.

Is the one on Packers.com the most current roster. is there anyone not on this list that you guys can see?

I can put up with a couple of your butt shots if you sprinkle in a few pictures of our rooks in action.
