This marks Green Bay’s 78th training camp, a tradition that began in 1946 under Curly Lambeau.
Practices are scheduled to take place at Ray Nitschke Field and Packers Family Night will be at Lambeau Field. The times for practices that are open to the public will be announced at a later date.

Green Bay will have an open practice on Aug. 14 and two joint practices against New England (Aug. 16-17) before facing the Patriots in their second preseason game on Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. at Lambeau Field.
The Packers finish off the open sessions of training camp with two practices (Aug. 22-23) before facing the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field on Aug. 26.

According to Discover Green Bay and a 2010 study by AECOM, training camp, along with Packers Family Night, could attract approximately 80,000 visitors from across the nation and as many as 20 foreign countries, with a total economic impact estimated at approximately $9 million.
