New York Giants Will Open Training Camp On Friday |
Associated Press 5:44 p.m. EDT, July 25, 2011
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —— The New York Giants will open training camp on Friday at their team headquarters near New Meadowlands Stadium. The Giants made the announcement late Monday afternoon, hours after the NFLPA executive committee and the 32 player representatives from the league’s teams recommended to players that they vote for the 10-year deal which will end the 4 1 / 2-month lockout. Earlier in the day, workers began removing roughly 6-foot long blue slants from around the practice fields at the Giants’ facility, so fans will be able to see the fields and watch practices. The team plans to erect stands outside the fences of the practice fields for seating. The Giants have held camp at the University at Albany since 1996. But they opted to train at home this year because of the uncertainty surrounding the labor dispute. What do you guys think about this. Posted in giants-news | Comments Off

New York Giants News And Rumors: Moving On Without… |
The New York Giants today announced the schedule for their 2011 training camp, which will be held at their regular-season practice facility, the Timex Performance Center. The first practice will be held Saturday, and the first practice which could involve any hitting will be on Monday, Aug. 1. All practices are scheduled to go from 6 p.m. ET until 8:10 p.m. ll training camp practice sessions will be open to the public and general admission seating for approximately 2,000 is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Standing room along the fence line outside the practice field is also available. There is no admission charge for watching training camp workouts and parking is free. Public parking is in Lot K on the grounds of the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The lots will open to the public one hour before the scheduled start time of practice and lots will close one hour following the conclusion of practice. With the new rules eliminating two-a-day practices, other than some “walk-thru” type practices teams will be allowed to hold, it will be interesting to see how different these practices will be. The change in setting, from the University at Albany to the Timex Performance Center, will also be something to watch. Saturday, July 30 Sunday, July 31 Monday, August 1 Tuesday, August 2 Wednesday, August 3 Thursday, August 4 Friday, August 5 Saturday, August 6 Sunday, August 7 Monday, August 8 Tuesday, August 9 Wednesday, August 10 Thursday, August 11 Friday, August 12 Saturday, August 13 Sunday, August 14 Monday, August 15 Tuesday, August 16 Wednesday, August 17 Thursday, August 18 Friday, August 19 Saturday, August 20 If anybody needs tickets to games, remember to click the tickets link at the top.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning thinks rookies have suffered from NFL lockout |
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning expressed concern Friday at the Manning Passing Academy that the NFL lockout may hinder the development of rookies. M anning said young players may face a difficult adjustment period due to the lack of official practices. “I think that’s going to be the case,” Manning said. “We’re trying to get with some of them and get them caught up a little on the offense and some of the basic routes and basic terminology. But hopefully we’ll get into training camp in time where they’ll at least have a full training camp to learn the system.” Manning has organized some workouts and walkthroughs with his New York teammates but described those as “decent” and far from the quality reps they would receive in mini-camps and organized team activities.
