[*pally*]

Training camp opens July 27 at Dayton's Welcome Stadium. This is part of the NFL 100 celebration honoring Dayton as the home of one of the original teams. For those who can't make it to the open practice, it will be broadcast on NFL network. More details will be released tomorrow

Think I might go down there for this. Well, probably will find something more important to do but would like to go anyway. What times do they normally start practice?

They'll announce times tomorrow.  The 27th is a Saturday so maybe early to mid-afternoon which is when they've started mini-camp practices

Here's the million dollar question, well actually 2. Do they sell beer at practices and do they have Dog accessible bathrooms (fire hydrants)?

They don't sell beer, but I have a bunch of hangouts nearby with some good choices.  My town!

I doubt I make it back to Ohio for a game this year, but I just might have to try to coordinate a trip and go to one of these practices in Dayton. Closer to my parents farm.

If I’m in town that day I’ll be there — and I want to meet as many of you in person as possible.

Just down the road at Carillon park lots of dogs have relieved themselves over the years. My dogs were no exceptions.. It's basically walking distance.. Well, almost anyway.. Cross the river. I've walked it many times. The river bank is right across the street. I doubt anyone would object except for the doggy doo police..   Woops..wrong post.. Someone asked about fire hydrants.. You know who you are...HARLEY.. lol

Interesting, lastnight Chris Mathews, Hard Ball on MSN. did a town hall discussion with a group of people from Dayton. Can't remember where they held it. Not totally sure why I decided to watch, other I know people on this board know Dayton.....

I know, I have to drive past your statue every morning.  The tourists taking selfies every year on your birthday makes traffic a real ***** 

I go to UD football games in the fall, and yes, the parking lots are massive.  For those coming in from out of town for the practice, it's not a horrible place to watch a game or practice per se, but it has zero amenities whatsoever.  It's an old, concrete stadium used for UD and high school games and track meets.  Concessions are few, and be prepared to pee in a trough like you're watching a game during the 1930s.

They had it at the Mendelson's warehouse downtown.  Seriously.  It's like someone said "You know, we need to find a cheap venue that makes you need a tetanus shot just for looking at it."  Mission accomplished.

Is that the statue of me in handcuffs? Not that I ever broke a single law in Dayton..

I spend many many hours working in Mendelson' properties mostly spray painting and yes, you probably need a tetanus shot and complete body disinfection after visiting..  I still remember that old warehouse when it opened though. There was almost nothing industrial you couldn't find on the cheap.. The good old days.. LOL
