Redskins Training Camp Thread

[Redskins247]

So I'm considering going to training camp next Monday and take the kids, my son who is 9 really wants Chris Thompson's autograph and I know this could be the last year he's with the team. It says they practice from 9:45 - 11:45...and then return for walkthrough at 4:40 for an hour? Is that worth seeing as well? Do they do anything at all on the field between noon and 4:40? Do the players sign autographs for the kids any? Thanks

6) Autographs

Those who choose to watch practice standing at the ropes will have the best chance of landing an autograph before and after practice. There are a lot of fans, so keep in mind you may not get exactly who you are hoping for on the first try. Being creative with what you ask the players and coaches to sign helps you get noticed, so use your imagination but do so tastefully.

After practice concludes, you also have a chance to get an autograph between the media tents and the training center building. Your odds are low of landing someone here, use this as a last ditch effort.

The best day to get autographs will be Fan Appreciation Day on Saturday, August 3rd at 1:00 p.m. All the players and coaches will roam the ropes set up around the offensive field.

This will be the busiest day of training camp, plan to be there early to make sure you are in the right position.


I would suggest fan appreciation day for auto graph seeking, guarantee most players and coaches will be signing . Ive only seen the "practice portion" of camp, Ive never been around for walkthroughs portion. I would assume at the end of each session there are the auto graph opportunities, but its not like its scheduled.

Its worth coming up or down for camp...that area of Richmond is really solid with great food spots and about 8 breweries within a several miles of the field. Its easy to find and right off 95.

I'd say Chris Thompson is one player you have a legit shot at having an autograph of: when I came to FedEx last year with my Frenchie sign, the man took like a full minute at the end of warm ups to cross the end zone and come shake my hand and thank me for coming. He was awesomely nice !

I'd imagine if your son has some sort of Chris Thompson jersey/sign and he notices it he'll definitely take a second to sign an autograph.

Have a great time man, HTTR !
