Cardinals Announce Training Camp Dates
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, June 24, 2005

Tempe, AZ – For the second straight year, the Cardinals will hold the majority of their training camp at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff followed by additional practice sessions in Prescott, AZ.

The team will report to N.A.U. on Sunday, July 31 and begin practice the next day. The Cardinals break camp there on Thursday, August 18.

While there will be no scrimmage at N.A.U. in 2005, the team will hold a “mock game” on Saturday, August 6 at 10:00 AM. That will be followed by a 30-minute autograph session involving the entire team in the Walkup Skydome.

In all, the team will conduct a total of 27 practices during the three weeks in Flagstaff, including the mock game.

All practices in Flagstaff will be held on the grass fields adjacent to the Walkup Skydome, weather permitting. In the event of inclement weather, they will be moved inside the Skydome.

The week after breaking camp at N.A.U., the Cardinals will practice in Prescott on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (August 22-25). Practice sessions in Prescott will again take place at Ken Lindley Field, located at 824 East Gurley Street (weather permitting).

All practices in both Flagstaff and Prescott are open to the public. Admission and parking are free.

The team’s tentative training camp schedule follows below.

Smart move on getting rid of the scrimmage. No reason to lose another player for the whole year on that NAU 1970's astroturf. They had the mock-game thing last year, and while its nothing like even a regular scimmage, its almost like a flag football thing, I'm okay with it. Plus the practices are awesome. Bring on camp! I'm so friggin excited I may take my beagles over there tonight to walk around on those practice fields.
