Some tips and reminders if you plan on taking in a Titans training camp practice at Baptist Sports Park:
WHAT TO WEAR
Shorts and flip-flops, a hat and sunscreen. Expect to sweat. There won't be much shade.
WHAT TO BRING
• A lawn chair or something else to sit on.
• Bottled water, Gatorade, or money to buy some. Practices usually run up to two hours. The players stay hydrated, and you should, too.
• Earmuffs for the kids. Things can get heated on the field, where players and coaches usually aren't watching their language.
• Your best pleading voice. Players who aren't scheduled to sign autographs on a particular day still come to the sideline on occasion to do so, especially if you've got a unique phrase or request that gets their attention. You'll have a better chance at veterans after the afternoon practice than after the morning practice.
• Cameras. Snap all the photos you like.
• Binoculars. At some practices the player or position group you want to see may be out of range. Binoculars ensure you'll be able to find them.
WHAT NOT TO BRING
• Video cameras. You're not allowed to videotape practices. The Titans wouldn't want those tapes winding up in the hands of the Pats, would they?
• Your smokes or alcohol. Smoking and/or drinking are not allowed.
• Your boom box.
• Your dog.
LOOK FOR
• Titans interns passing out rosters. The practice fields will be crowded until the first round of cuts, so a roster will help you sort out who's who.
• Changes in the practice schedule. The Titans have a training camp hotline at 615-565-4190. goTitans.com will update the schedule if any changes are made.
