So You Wanna Witness the Jags in Action? A Guide to Watching Training Camp
Ah, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Our roar-some local heroes (emphasis on the roar, Trevor Lawrence has a cannon for an arm). Training camp is upon us, folks, and that means it's time to ditch the Netflix queue and witness greatness—or at least some hilarious fumbles (we've all been there, Trevor). But before you dust off your teal jersey and dream of catching a stray football (don't those things hurt?), let's break down the need-to-know for watching the Jags practice.
Can You Watch Jacksonville Jaguars Practice |
Open to the Public? You Betcha!
That's right, folks! Unlike some NFL teams who like to keep their practices shrouded in secrecy (like the playbook is written in invisible ink), the Jaguars open their training camp to the public. Consider it your chance to see Trevor Lawrence sling lasers in person, witness Travis Etienne weave through defenders like a human joystick, and maybe even catch a glimpse of Coach Pederson unleashing his inner drill sergeant (although that might be a bit too much excitement).
Pro Tip: Practices are typically held in the mornings, so snag a coffee, throw on your favorite Jaguars gear, and get ready to energize like a Duval County diehard.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
Snag Those Tickets (They're Free!)
Yes, you read that right. Attending Jaguars training camp is completely free! But there's a catch (there's always a catch, right?): Tickets are first-come, first-served. So, if you're picturing yourself lounging in a pool chair while the team practices...well, let's just say you might need to adjust that vision.
Hit the Deck Chairs Later: Head to the Jaguars official website (https://www.jaguars.com/trainingcamp/) to snag your free tickets. Get there early, especially on weekends, and be prepared to potentially channel your inner Olympian in the quest for the best viewing spot.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
What to Expect: From Drills to Dawgs
Training camp is all about the team getting into tip-top shape for the season. So, expect to see a healthy dose of drills, conditioning exercises that would make even the fittest person whimper, and maybe even a few intrasquad scrimmages where things get a little chippy (friendly competition, of course!).
Bonus Fun: Keep an eye out for Jaguars mascots Jax and Roar for some sideline shenanigans. Who knows, maybe they'll even teach you the Duval Shuffle!
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.

How to Act? Be respectful, cheer loud (especially for good plays!), and soak up the atmosphere. Remember, these are the guys who are gonna bring home the Lombardi Trophy... right?
How to Avoid Heatstroke? Stay hydrated! Bring a refillable water bottle and don't be shy about refilling it often.
How to Get Autographs? While autographs aren't guaranteed, some players might sign after practice. Be polite, patient, and remember, they just finished an intense workout, so cut them some slack if they look a little sweaty.
