Attendance to Outlaws practices is generally
encouraged by the team, and they appreciate your support.
However, there are some general guidelines to follow while you are
there.
Practice sessions are generally at the practice fields on the north
side of Sam Boyd Stadium. Flag-ropes are set up to keep fans
off the fields; please respect these and stay behind them!
Security is usually present to make sure that nobody damages any
equipment, goes onto the fields, or otherwise disrupts practice
sessions. Please be sure not to disrupt the practices, as
this may get you into trouble and ruin the experience for other
fans.
You may park in the dirt areas outside the fences that surround
the practice fields. Be sure to bring jackets, raincoats and
hats in case the weather takes a turn for the worse. Port-a-potties
are available near other recreational areas to the north of the
practice fields. Please do not go inside the stadium grounds
unless invited; there are many sensitive areas that are easily damaged,
and you may run into legal trouble as well.
Most players do not mind signing autographs after practices, but
sometimes they have a tight schedule to keep and may not be available.
The key here is to be patient, and you may have to attend several
practices to obtain the autograph(s) you are seeking. The
best place to wait for autographs after practice is by the south
exit of the practice fields, as the players return to the locker
rooms inside the stadium grounds. Be sure to be courteous
and polite, as nobody appreciates anything thrust into their faces
without asking! I have had great success obtaining autographs
from all the players, but it took me quite awhile and I always tried
to be respectful. Autographs are best obtained after practices;
during games or scrimmages the players are usually kept pretty busy.
If a scrimmage is being held at a public school, expect to have
to pay admission (typically $5 for adults and $3 for students).
I was told that since the school district still maintains the fields
regardless of who is renting them, a scrimmage constitutes a special
event and admission must be charged. |
