GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Green Bay Packers have set the schedule for this year’s Training Camp.
This marks Green Bay’s 76th training camp, a tradition that began in 1946 under Curly Lambeau.
With a theme of “Back to Football,” Training Camp kicks off with a practice on Wednesday, July 28. It will be the first of four straight practices as part of the opening week.
Practices will take place at Ray Nitschke Field and Packers Family Night will be at Lambeau Field on Saturday, Aug. 7.
All practices that are open to the public will take place at 10:10 a.m.
Should inclement weather or any other factor force the team indoors, practices will be closed to the public due to space limitations inside the Don Hutson Center.
The Packers will open the second week with three open practices before the first preseason game on Aug. 14 against the Houston Texans at Lambeau Field.
Green Bay will finish off the open sessions of training camp with two joint practices on Aug. 18-19 with the New York Jets, before facing the Jets at Lambeau Field on Aug. 21.
The Packers go on the road for the third and final preseason game at the Buffalo Bills on Aug. 28.
The Packers will not be staying at St. Norbert College this summer due to protocols put in place by the NFL due to the pandemic.
The Packers will use their facilities at Lambeau Field for their entire training-camp operations, including practice, meals and meetings. Housing arrangements are in the process of being finalized.
Prior to 2020, St. Norbert College had hosted the Packers for training camp since 1958, with players residing in an on-campus residence hall and eating dinner in the college’s commons.
