BEREA, Ohio – 2018 Cleveland Browns Training Camp will feature 15 free public practices at the team’s facility in Berea, beginning Thursday, July 26.
Tickets remain available for prioritized access to select training camp practices. Even for sessions for which all tickets have been distributed, Browns fans who have not yet secured tickets are still welcome to attend camp in Berea on a walk-up basis, as space permits.
After introducing a new training camp layout last year – highlighted by new seating options with improved sightlines – the Browns have incorporated more seats again this year to accommodate fans, in addition to standing room on field level. Since 2016, Cleveland has increased seating availability at training camp by 325 percent to help provide fans an exceptional experience.
Last year, the Browns incorporated new fan friendly elements to training camp, including the Browns Play Football! field zone, a 40-yard dash area and photo opportunities with “BROWNS” letters and team-branded gloves, to complement other family friendly and football focused activities. This year, the Browns have also added vertical jump testing, life-size banners where fans can compare their measurements to current Browns players – RB Duke Johnson Jr., DL Myles Garrett and QB Tyrod Taylor – and oversized bobbleheads of Pro Football Hall of Famers OT/K Lou Groza and QB Otto Graham and legendary Browns alumni QB Bernie Kosar and OL Joe Thomas.
In 2018, Browns fans will once again be offered free water to ensure they stay hydrated throughout camp. Fans may visit the Deja Blue cooling station on the east side of the facility to recharge and receive free water, courtesy of Deja Blue.
