Planning on coming to my first Training Camp

[bLACKpANTHER]

Ima be in Myrtle Beach from the 15th - 22nd (no shark jokes pls). My son and I are gonna make the trek over to Spartanburg possibly on Monday the 17th, I think. Is the Monday after a preseason game a good day to make it out? Any advice?

Should be good. The last practice before a game is usually a run through. But the first practice after a game and a day off is usually pretty good.

Wed. 19th is the Dolphin scrimmage.  Should be a good day to go.

I'm jealous! Enjoy it!

Unless you were raised on the surface of the sun or in hell itself, please come prepared for the heat.

 

Other than that small detail you should be golden.

Advice on getting autographs? My son will go apesh!t if he meets Cam. I want to put us in the best position to deliver.

I'm pretty sure Columbia is the devil's backup plan in case hell ever freezes over.  If you lived in Columbia, you're ready.

My son and I made that trip a couple times....... a good 3 1/2 4 hrs.

We made it a two day trip to make the most out of it. We stayed at a hotel in Spartanburg near the hwy. .....$89.

My wife was at a condo in Myrtle and the boys were at training camp in Spartanburg.

Believe me.........it was worth the extra bucks to stay overnite.

everyone says get there early - practice starts at 3:10pm

What is a good early? 1pm? Noon?

As has been mentioned

http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/ask/7-How-hot-is-the-Sun-

10,000 degrees... plus 99.999999999999% humidity, unless it is 100% and raining... You'll basically feel like you're in a pressure cooker and someone's left the stove knob on high... If it is raining, well, it's like taking a lukewarm shower in a sauna and you'll be miserable the rest of the day...

I stopped making the 4 hour day trip several years ago mainly because it is so miserable out there...

So Spartanburg is More Miserable than the Piedmont of NC in July?  or is it just because there are no trees, shade, or amenities around?

Huddlers going to Spartanburg training camp then the Jax game in September will be begging for Spartanburg conditions when they get here to Florida.
