BuffalothruMyVeins Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hey everybody- I did a search on this topic and didn't see anything come up, so I wanted to create a topic, so as to hopefully centralize info about the 2018 Training Camp dates. Has anyone heard anything about when these dates will be released, and if/when they will have a practice at New Era Field? My friend and I live about 3 hours from SJF and around this time, we start to get antsy for the dates to be released, so we can start making hotel reservations. This year, we're hoping for a weekday morning practice, followed the next day by a practice at New Era Field. Last year's practice there was the first time I have ever been in the stadium, and I really hope they have another so we can go again. On a side note, we will be sticking with our reliable Buffalo Brew Pub for wings, but also will be trying Bar Bill. We've done Duffs and Anchor in years past, too. Mod edit: actual schedule now available later in thread!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I bet they are reporting somewhere right around the 26th - 27th of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 A lot of WNY local media has Bar Bill wings rated very highly. I cannot speak from experience but the amount of good press must bode well for the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffalothruMyVeins Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Does anyone have any idea when the schedule is typically released? We're 6 or 7 weeks away from them moving facilities out to Rochester, it has to be soon, in the next week or two, right? 32 minutes ago, ShadyBillsFan said: I suggest you update the thread title to TC dates so we don’t get a duplicate thread.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Only 11 practices at SJF, and tickets are required for 5 of those. The practice at NEF was fun last year except for the thunder storm that delayed it. Not sure what's up with "theme days". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Mike Rodak ESPN Staff Writer Bills coach Sean McDermott said Thursday he doesn't anticipate changing the division of quarterback reps into the start of training camp. That means AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman will likely continue sharing first-team reps, with Josh Allen mixing in with that group but otherwise leading the third-team offense.

I guess I don't get the point of the tickets - I can see for night time practices where it might get filled to capacity - but for a practice at 8:30 in the morning?

Tickets are required for night and weekend practices only, just for what you said, overcrowding. They are free, but can be a bit of a pain to get. In the past, my wife has gotten some for us and I asked her to get extras for TBD people and either mailed them, or they met me somewhere for a handoff. But we have no plans on going this year so she won't be getting any. http://prod.static.bills.clubs.nfl.com/assets/pdf/2018-Training-Camp-Schedule.pdf Edited June 15, 2018 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see now the non-night ticketed practices (@ 8:45, 2:15) are weekend so that makes sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Helpful hint for those wanting multiple tickets. I think the limit is 4 per person per visit where you pick them up. So my wife took all the kids that were home with her and they went in individually and got 4 each. Then went to another store and did the same. repeated as necessary for all tickets needed for all practices desired. Yeah, we supplied a few out of town people for a few years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
