COLD, FILTERED WATER STATION PROVIDED
Fans are permitted to bring empty water bottles to practice at Saint Thomas Sports Park. A cold, filtered water station is available on the grounds for use free of charge. Cold, non-alcoholic beverages also are available for purchase.
BLEACHER SEATING
Several sets of temporary bleachers surround the fields of Saint Thomas Sports Park. Standing along the sideline fence is discouraged in order to ease traffic flow for fans.
PRACTICE LENGTH
Practices typically last two hours but can run shorter or longer.
DRESS APPROPRIATELY
Fans should dress appropriately for the heat of Middle Tennessee. Training camp practices often take place during the hottest portions of the day, and most bleacher seats are not shaded.
WEATHER POLICY
For the safety of fans, players, media and staff members, practice will be postponed, canceled or moved indoors if stormy weather threatens Saint Thomas Sports Park. For safety reasons, fans will not be allowed to wait at the practice field and will be asked to return to their vehicles. In some cases, practice also could be moved indoors due to extreme heat. All indoor ("bubble") practices are closed to the general public.
AUTOGRAPHS
Every player on the Titans roster takes part in a free autograph session after practice at least once during training camp. Generally, a different group of players are assigned each day, including several recognizable members of the roster, and additional players may choose to sign autographs at their discretion. The players signing autographs on a particular day are not announced in advance. Autographs take place near the south (far) end zone, between the sideline and end zone bleachers. The players' time is limited, however, and fans are not guaranteed to receive autographs from specific players. Autograph sessions are canceled upon inclement weather.
MERCHANDISE AND CONCESSIONS
A Titans Locker Room merchandise trailer is open before, during and after all practices, selling a variety of Titans goods and apparel. The merchandise tent is located at the entrance to the practice field. Additionally, a concession stand selling ice cold Coca-Cola products is open during all practices.

Although over-crowding is rare at training camp practices, there is a limit to the number of fans who can safely attend practices. Fans arriving first will be given first priority.
