The Packers will welcome the Baltimore Ravens to Green Bay this week for a joint practice, set for Thursday, Aug. 22, prior to the preseason game between the two teams on Saturday, Aug. 24. Thursday will also mark the final open practice at 2024 Packers Training Camp.
The practice will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday. The Ravens will begin practice on Clarke Hinkle Field, on the west side of the Don Hutson Center, before joining the Packers on Ray Nitschke Field on the east side of the Don Hutson Center for the joint portion of each practice.
To ensure the Ravens players experience one of the most storied training camp traditions in the NFL, kids of all fan affiliations are encouraged to bring their bikes to Lambeau Field to offer rides to the Ravens and Packers alikeprior to practice. Every Ravens player will be riding a bike to practice if there are enough bikes available, so fans and community members are asked to welcome the team in true Green Bay fashion.
To offer rides to the Ravens, kids are asked to line up with their bikes near the visitor’s locker room door, located adjacent to the Invisalign Gate on the south end of Lambeau Field off of Valley View Road. Kids can line up as early as 8 a.m., but are asked to be in place by 9:30 for the Ravens to make their way to practice. A bike corral will be set up to guide kids and players from the locker room door as they travel east, through the Lambeau Field parking lot and across Oneida Street. Ravens players will enter the practice field through a gate in the fence surrounding Clarke Hinkle Field.
During practice, kids can line their bikes up against the Hinkle Field fence to wait for the end of practice, when they will be able to offer their bikes for the Ravens players exiting through the gate to ride back to the locker room.
To ensure a smooth and safe ride to practice, law enforcement will be directing traffic on Oneida between Lombardi Avenue and Mike McCarthy Way during pre and post practice movements. Visitors should know that Packers players will continue to ride bikes, as well, with normal DreamDrive operations taking place outside the Oneida Nation Gate.
The Lambeau Field Atrium also offers plenty to do and see during training camp, including the Packers Pro Shop, the Packers Hall of Fame and Lambeau Field Stadium Tours. 1919 Kitchen & Tap is open each day beginning at 11 a.m., with the Johnsonville Tailgate Village and a variety of food trucks also offering food and beverages.
In recent years, the Packers have taken part in several joint practice sessions in conjunction with preseason games, hosting the Houston Texans, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots in Green Bay.
