Patriots Will Not Hold Annual In-Stadium Practice For Residents

FOXBORUGH, MA — If you were hoping to use the annual in-stadium practice to get a glimpse of the New England Patriots, you're out of luck.

Due to scheduling conflicts, the annual training camp session open to Foxborough and Walpole residents and season ticket holders will not take place this year, Gillette Stadium spokesperson Jeremie Smith said.

For years, the team has held an evening training camp session inside the stadium for local residents and season ticket holders. In recent years, the annual Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony was held before the practice.

While there will be no in-stadium practice, there will be plenty of opportunity to watch the Super Bowl champions work out and prepare for the 2017 season. The first practice of the year is July 27 and a pair of joint practices with the Jacksonville Jaguars are scheduled for Aug. 7 and 8. The two teams will play a preseason game Aug. 10

The induction of Raymond Clayborn into the team's hall of fame will take place at noon July 29 and follows the team's morning training camp session.

More training camp dates will be announced at a later date.

The New England Patriots 2017 Training Camp will take place at the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium. All public sessions are free.
