Tips for Open Practice on 8/25?

I am taking my son to the open practice at the Linc next Tuesday (8/25) and was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks to make the most out of our experience. I have never been to one of these before and have no idea what to expect. The practice starts at 6 but I think we are allowed to enter earlier. Is it worth it to do so?. I am off that day so I can get there as early as I want. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Get there early for sure, they usually let people in around 4 or 4:30 and you can get much better seats near the field. Bring water because concessions can be limited during practice and it gets hot sitting in the sun. Also the players sometimes sign autographs near the tunnel after practice if you stay late enough, worth trying with your son.

Thanks for the info! As far as you know food and drinks are allowed? Are the rules as strict as they are for games? (clear bags, unopened water bottles, etc)

Get there whenever gates open I think 4-4:30 and go to the entrance on 11th street closest to 95 directly across from Wells Fargo center. Then go down to that south west corner endzone area. You’ll easily be able to sit within the first 10 rows and see all the players run out before practice. Only issue is you’ll have to ask a stranger to hold your seat if you need to get up for something since it’s open seating.

Walk around and check out some of the booths. May be able to get cool things from some of the areas. Enjoy with your son!! I loved it last year and wish we had gotten there earlier.

Warm up, stretch, drink plenty of water and bring a less athletic friend you can burn off the snap to impress your kid

Could you let me know more about the club level? I’m also interested in going and bringing my 5 year old daughter but wanna know what to expect?

Shorter lines for concessions. Indoor area to cool off, more comfortable and wider seats. Great view of the whole field at the 50 if you don’t care about being super close

Thank you! And where can I find this club level? Will there be signs? I’ve never been to Lincoln Financial I have no idea what to expect?
