Seahawks announce dates of training camp including when 12s can watch
By Lee Vowell
12s already knew when the Seattle Seahawks would start 2024 training camp. The rookies were set to report on July 17 and the veteran would appear on July 23. Fans also knew the date of the team's mock game, otherwise called Football Fest, when 12s can show up, cheer on the team, pay good money for parking and concessions, and get a first glimpse of what the team might look like in a game setting.
For those who missed that bit of information, Football Fest will be held at Lumen Field on Saturday, August 3. The mock game begins at 1 pm PT while gates will open at noon. Tickets will cost $12 each. Parking at the stadium will be $20. You are not allowed to bring your camera or film practice with your cell phone. You can take photos before and after practice, though.
As far as training camp, you'll need to travel to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center to watch, but not every practice is open to fans. Once the Seahawks' preseason begins on August 10, one can forget about catching the team practice. That would be too close to the season and the team needs to start keeping its secrets.

Beginning on June 25 (the day this article is posted) registration is open for 12s to try to get tickets for watching practice. These will happen between July 24 and August 8. Again, not every day is open but quite a few are. Fans will have to park at The Landing in Renton and then be shuttled to the VMAC. The shuttle will cost $15 per person.
These are the practice dates (with themes!) that 12s can see:
- July 24 - Season Ticket Holder Day, 1 pm PT

- July 27 - Back Together Weekend, 1 pm PT
- July 30 - Kids Day, 1 pm PT

- August 3 - Football Fest at Lumen Field, 1 pm PT
- August 5 - Kids Day, 9:45 am PT

After that, it's simply a matter of getting ready for the preseason and real games. In other words, 2024 Seahawks football is almost here. Enjoy.
