Throughout the years, the Arizona Cardinals have kept one tradition for fans easy to access, avoiding the temptation to make more money. They make training camp practices free to attend for fans. Entrance is free. Parking is free.
That isn’t the case for the entire NFL.
Kyle Odegard for Sportscasting.com did some research and found that 11 teams charge for fans to attend camp practices and that the three other NFC West teams, the Los Angeles Rams, the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, have the most expensive training camp experiences.
The 49ers charge $20 per ticket to attend, by far the most expensive, although the proceeds are given to their charitable 49ers Foundation.
Seattle doesn’t charge for a ticket but fans must take a shuttle that costs $15 per person to attend. They do not charge for practice.
The Los Angeles Rams also are an expensive trip to training camp. They do not charge to attend but parking costs $15.
So, be glad that the Cardinals continue to make training camp a free experience for fans to be a part of.
