Fan Fest

[Garthshort]

What is the expected attendance? What did they get last year? And will any board members be there?

I'm planning on it as long as it's not blazing hot. (I wimped out on going to TC this week because of the heat.)

Last year fan fest was on a week night. I'm thinking with it being on a Saturday afternoon ...... big crowds.

I'll be there with the wife and 9 month old all decked out in our gear!

Is the Red and White scrimmage part of the Fan Fest this year?

It looks like they are cutting corners this year. Last year they had a real Fan Fest in June and a scrimmage in training camp. It looks like they are just having a practice, and then the players will walk to the side of the field to sign autographs afterward (hoping I am wrong, but that is what it looks like).

Last year I recall it was just a practice as well... Arians doesn't do the scrimmages.

They had both last year, June 11th Fan Fest and August 3rd was the Scrimmage. Maybe Arians is not too keen on the fan experience thing.

Anyone have more details on the fan fest? It's this Saturday, right? I presume it's inside the stadium? Any time info?

From a fan's perspective, I'd love to see/read about a scrimmage, but I understand where BA is coming from, injuries and all. It might just be me but it seems that across the NFL there have been a lot of guys lost for the season, already.

Thanks.

Who ever said it was basically a hyped practice was right..

They should take a page out of the DBacks book, they do it right.

Just heard Arians presser - they will be doing a regular practice with goal line scrimmage - with tackling - "the only time we will be tackling in camp".

Good point. My main complaint is that they do not have a separate kids autograph event where the players sign autographs at tables and kids wait their turn in line, etc., like they did last year at the Fan Fest in June (and like they have pretty much every year except this year). I saw that there were over 17,000 people that came to one of the training camp events last year (according to the Cardinals website). It is nice that they are having the event tomorrow, but it would also be nice if they also had the separate event like the previous years where kids can get in line for autographs rather having to reach over a rail with 17,000 other people to try to get autographs.

If anyone was at the Fan Fest,, do you have any info as to:
1. Attendance, if not actual numbers, how did it compare to last weekend?
2. Anyone look good or bad?
3. Any surprises?

You do realize that practices and Fan Fest was/is done inside in the AC right?

No need to stay home, it's all done inside.
