FOXBORO, Mass. -- The New England Patriots will officially kickoff the 2000 season in the Pro Football Hall of Fame game against the San Francisco 49ers on July 31. It will be their first of five preseason games this summer. As a result, the Patriots will be reporting to training camp nearly a week earlier than most other NFL teams. Due to scheduling conflicts, the Patriots will open their training sessions in Foxboro and will move training camp to Bryant College at the end of the first week on Sunday, July 23.

By hosting the first week of training camp at Foxboro Stadium, fans will be afforded a unique opportunity. Not only will they be able to watch the Patriots' progress on the practice field, but they will also get to view the on-going progress of the new stadium. Practices will take place at the team facilities in Foxboro, adjacent to the construction site for the new stadium. This will mark the first time in team history, the Patriots will hold scheduled training camp practices in Foxboro. Staying with the tradition of training camp, these practices will be open to the public and parking will be free of charge.

The full squad will report on Sunday, July 16 for a team meeting and physicals. Practices will commence the next morning, Monday, July 17, with two-hour sessions beginning at 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. All logistical information regarding training camp will be released closer to the start of camp.
