    Hard to believe, but training camp starts October 3rd in Austin -- just two weeks from today. The Rockets will hold a media day session in Houston then head out to Austin.

    Where will they practice, and are they open to the public?

    Ironically Jazz camps starts up the same day. I think I'm going to sneak in and pass out saveourrockets.com buttons.

    BTW Clutch, not a moment too soon if you ask me. This off-season has been way too taxing.... UGH...

    Looking forward to the coverage, assuming you make it back in. Be sure and talk to Dream this time.

    Yeah Clutch, last year's coverage of the training camp was awesome.

    Training camp practices are not open to the public. They may do some sort of event that will be open but practices are NEVER open during camps even to the media.

    The media gets let in afterwards.

    Last year, I remember the 76ers had a webcam at their traning camp. Of course it wasn't on during the practice, but it was turned on afterward. I remember Iverson picking up the microphone and interviewing other players. It was kinda neat. I know this can't be done this year, but it might be worth looking into.

    BobFinn* - that is so perfect. Clutch, you have to get into camp, and video your interviews and especially video practice if you get in early like you did last year. Exclusive interviews/videos would make clutchcity.net amazing.

    HeyP- if you want to figure out names for the plays so bad, go ask for a media pass and get the info straight from the horse's mouth. And while you're at it, diagram the new ones [​IMG]

    Da Dakota hit the nail on the head - Lil Francis has *not* been to the Capitol City.

    People here are used to celebrities and the Rocks will be appreciated without being pestered or disturbed.

    If they allow Clutch to take a camera in and heyp to diagram the plays then the Rockets are in trouble [​IMG]

    All the opposition coaches will have to do is log on to cc.net and read all about the Rockets playbook for the season - and they'll be able to see it in action too!!

    Well last year it was closed to the public. So i see no reason this year to be no different. It was at some private school. It will be listed on NBA.com as training camp nears.

    I can't wait. I'm not too excited about having to miss most of the pre-season due to work, but that's the way it goes. Hopefully I'll be able to find a way to get updates here while I'm on the road. [​IMG]
