JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Wednesday is the first chance for fans to see the Jaguars in action at this year’s training camp at Miller Electric Center.

Gates open at 8 a.m. and players will be on the field at 8:45 a.m.

Sixteen of the team’s practices will be open to the public, and if the line for the Jaguars’ throwback jerseys was any indication, fans are excited for the new season, which is the third year of the Doug Pederson era.

It’s also the Jags’ 30th anniversary season.

Tickets to watch the training camp practices are free, but you must pre-register.

What about autographs?

Fans who get free tickets also have the chance to be randomly selected for post-practice autographs.

You’ll get the same number of autograph passes as the tickets you have for that day’s practice.

No autographs are allowed from the stands.
