The Minnesota Vikings aren’t shying away from their quarterback competition, and they are proving it with their public training camp schedule. The team announced via press release their public training camp schedule, with a whopping 13 dates. Among the dates:

• Back Together and Legends Weekend: Saturday, August 1st
• First padded practice: Monday, August 3rd
• Night practice: Sunday, August 9th
• Joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens: Wednesday, August 19th and Thursday, August 20th (also the final practice)

Minnesota Vikings announce 13 public training camp practices

It’s a major increase over what the Vikings offered up last year, with just eight public practices. It would have been easy for the Vikings to have a quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy and have a smaller slate of public practices. Instead, they are expanding their offerings and being more transparent.

It’s a similar schedule to what they have kept in the past, with a Saturday being the first offering to the public. It’s a fun atmosphere to kick off public practices, and it’s easy for the fanbase to get tickets.

If you are a season ticket holder, you will have a 48-hour window, starting on Tuesday, June 16th at 10 a.m. CT to secure either normal tickets for $10 ($5 17 and under) or the Omni Hospitality Tent with tickets starting at $50. Tickets will then go on sale for the public at large on Thursday, June 18th at 10 a.m. CT.

There will be autographs on each day as well with 4,000 tickets for each normal practice, and 6,000 for the night practice.
