Wow, makes me wish I went up this weekend instead of next weekend when it will be even bigger of a crowd for the aurtograph session thing on Saturday.
How early did everyone who went get there and were you able to get the spot you wanted?

Nice job on the camp reports guys, including RD.
I made it up yesterday, only a couple things to add:
Garvin dropped lots of balls in the earlier receiving drills, started hanging on to more later on. I would have to day he has no shot to make the team as a receiver, he would have to become a special teams ace.
Also, during the last receiving drills, there was a reciever wearing a black shirt with no number catching balls. I thought it might be Breaston working icognito (due to the skinny legs). Did any of you figure out who that was?

I was at practice about 2 hours early and the bleachers that jw showed a pic of were already full. Found the last decemtvspot on the hill. So def get there early.

We got parked about 30 minutes before the 3:00 start. The Skydome lot was full, but we parked in the lot across the street on the south side of the dome with no problem.
I like to sit on the south end of the upper fields under the shade trees, but it's a little far from some of the drills. Most of the DL, OL, RB, and LB drills were toward the north end, so I couldn't see much detail of those.
I'm sure it will be much more of a zoo for the scrimmage next Saturday. If you want a bleacher seat , you may need to stake it out at least an hour early. I think they will do it on the middle field.
Based os jw7's photo .. Anybody who suggests there are not LOT more fans there needs to get their eyes checked.
That is one heck of a crowd by previous years standards

Yep, the chain link fence is definitely a bummer. I couldn't see anything at all with all the people lining the fence.
We got there about 2pm and parking lot was already full. That and the one guy behind me kept calling all his buddies and saying "there must be 20,000 people here!" LoL, maybe 5,000 at most.

Yup. From 10 plus years going 500 people would have been considered good. 5000 or so that was there yesterday stunk from a personal standpoint. But fir the team it's great. A solid line at the cards mobile store the whole practice. The revenues are coming in for sure.

There were triple the amount of fans on day two than there were on day one. On day one, reports had it at 1000 to 1500, with statements saying that was the largest crowd ever. Daily Sun I think wrote something like that.
I disagreed in my first post of training camp. There were much more last season during the scimmage. That's where I was coming from.
Saturday, easily 5 grand. And the largest crowd I had ever seen. Pic you refer to illustrates that.
Go Cards!

Hey Shane, from the vantage point of jw pic, I was sitting right next to you guys. Wish we could have hooked up to talk shop.
