How practice works
Practice takes place on three fields and in two-hour sessions. The schedule is set up where there is a single practice (3-5 p.m.) one day followed by a day of two-practice sessions (9-11 a.m. and 7-9 p.m.). The complex will open one hour before practice and close 30 minutes after its conclusion.



The 11-on-11 drills will mostly take place on the main field inside Toyota Stadium. Position work will take place on the main field and one of the side fields while a field at the top of the hill will be used for special teams work and players rehabbing injuries. Offensive players will be in white jerseys, defensive players in black. While there is plenty of seating in the stadium, the other two fields have limited viewing spots.

Getting autographs
The best time to get autographs is after practice. Camp staff will direct fans to rope lines near where players walk to and from practice.

What it costs
Admission is free. Parking costs $15 a car, $25 for school buses, passenger vans and campers and $50 for large buses/motorcoaches.

What's available
Souvenirs and snacks are available for purchase around the complex. No outside food or beverages are allowed inside the stadium.

Watch the weather
The only time practice will get cancelled is if there is heavy rain or lightning. But if you want to doublecheck the schedule before going to Georgetown, call 502-868-6300 for updated times. The schedule is subject to change.

Other things in Georgetown
The Scott County Native Plants Arboretum is on the college campus.

One exit down from Georgetown is the Kentucky Horse Park, which will host next year's World Equestrian Game.

If you're planning on lunch or dinner after practice, there are plenty of restaurants along Exit 126, but for a local experience go to Fava's Restaurant, 159 E. Main St, which residents say has the best burgers in town.
