The schedule has been set. The first practice open to the public is July 31, and the last one is August 18.

I've never been to the Steelers training camp, and would like to change that this year. Our BTSC brethren have suggested meeting at camp this year, and it sounds like a great idea!

I have no doubt that someone who contributes to BTSC, will be in attendance for every practice. This may be  a good time to get some BTSC T-shirts printed. I'm in for a couple.

I was thinking of going to camp for one week, thought the last week would be best. Some of the positional battles would be coming to an end, and besides the obvious starters, whoever was on the second and third team for the final week of camp, would be a closer indicator to the actual roster we'll start the season with. But after seeing that the last week of camp only has three days of practice, the week from August 8th - 14th, which has five practices, seems like the best option  What do you think?

Camp veterans, please share your do's and don't's. I'll be coming from out of town, and have never been to Pittsburgh before. I remember someone here last year, saying typing that the "Steelers Experience" was a "must do" thing at camp though.

For convenience, I'll paste the Steelers training camp info from the word.doc at  http://www.steelers.com/news/article-1/Steelers-2010-Training-Camp-Information/094c3382-b714-47a7-a1c7-74a7c5897867 after the jump.
