Al Thompson
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The New York Giants today announced the schedule for their 2013 training camp, which will be held at the team’s Timex Performance Center. This is the second time in three years, and only the second time since 1996 when the team moved its training camp to the University at Albany, that the Giants will hold camp in New Jersey.
The camp will begin on Friday, July 26, when all players report for physicals, meetings and conditioning testing. The first practice session will be held on Saturday, July 27 at 1:30 p.m. The normal training camp schedule has the team on the practice field from 1:30 p.m. to approximately 3:40 p.m. There will be no practice on July 31 and Aug. 6, 9, 11, 12, 17 and 19. Practice is closed to the public on Sunday, Aug. 4. The public portion of training camp is scheduled to end on Wednesday, Aug. 21, three days prior to the Giants’ annual preseason game vs. the Jets.
General admission seating for approximately 2,000 is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Standing room along the fence line of the perimeter of the practice fields is also available. There is no admission charge for watching training camp workouts and parking is free. Public parking is in Lot K on the grounds of the MetLife Sports Complex. The lots will open to the public one hour before the scheduled start time of practice and lots will close one hour following the conclusion of practice. All fans attending practice will be subject to security screening before entering the seating area.
The Giants announced in January that they would hold training camp at the Timex Performance Center. The team trained at the University at Albany last summer and 16 of the previous 17 years, beginning in 1996. The Giants held training camp at the Timex Performance Center in 2011, a season that ended with their victory in Super Bowl XLVI.
Fan Guidelines: Practice sessions will be open to the public throughout training camp (July 27-Aug. 21). Limited seating is provided alongside the practice fields. Restroom facilities concession stands and a free kid’s activity area will also be available. The Giants will host a special autograph day on Sunday, July 28 when the entire team will sign autographs for fans after practice. A different position group of Giants players will sign autographs for fans each other day following practice.
PLEASE NOTE: In the event of inclement weather, (including rain, thunderstorms and extreme heat) practices will be moved indoors and will be closed to the public.
