GREEN BAY — Packers Training Camp kicks off Wednesday, July 28, 2021 at 10:10 a.m., and reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers will be on the practice field.
Rodgers private jet was seen arriving at Green Bay’s Austin-Straubel Airport about 11 p.m. Monday night, and the Packers posted a photo of their quarterback arriving today at the stadium.
While fans planning on attending training camp over the next month can expect to enjoy practice and family friendly activities, fans should also expect several changes to the training camp experience from recent years.
The entire training camp schedule is available at packers.com/training-camp HERE.
Seating at Ray Nitschke Field will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and fans who attend practice in any designated seating areas or standing room areas near the field will have to verbally agree to COVID-19 health screening statements in order to enter the viewing area. Signs will be posted with the health statements throughout the area.
This year’s American Family Insurance DreamDrive will include a modified version of the storied training camp tradition where Packers players ride children’s bikes to and from practice. Though the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols will prevent players from riding kids’ bikes and interacting with them directly, many players will continue biking to practice on brand new Schwinn bicycles and fans of all ages will be able to line up along the bike path and cheer as the players ride past.
To encourage safe interaction in the tradition from a distance, the Packers and American Family Insurance also are debuting the DreamDrive From Home program, a community charity bike event where fans can register and pledge to complete a specific amount of miles at their favorite locations and at their own pace and convenience. For every mile pledged and ridden, American Family will donate $1 to We All Rise. Established in 2017, We All Rise is a holistic resource center in Green Bay. The organization is committed to supporting and uplifting the Black community through education, employment opportunities, secure housing, mental health services and more.

Lambeau Field Stadium Tours are also being led each day, with available tour times and options listed at packershofandtours.com. Those attending practice can also enjoy activities at the Fan Walkway, with yard games and outdoor fun offered daily. The Johnsonville Tailgate Village also will be open with a limited food and drink menu from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the first four days of practice. Fans should note that Lambeau Field and all of its businesses are now cashless.

The first week of Training Camp will also include several activities for families and fans to enjoy, including the annual Packers and Bellin Health Bike Rodeo with the De Pere Police Department from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Thursday, July 29.
