California Love: Cowboys announce dates, times for training camp in Oxnard
The Cowboys have known for a while they’d be meeting back up in California in late July for their 17th training camp in Oxnard, but now they- and their loyal fans- can make concrete plans for the three-week stay.
Camp will once again be held at the Oxnard Residence Inn at River Ridge, with a dozen practice sessions open to fans free of charge.
Players are set to report on July 24th, and the first practice will take place Wednesday, July 26th. The traditional opening ceremonies, with the annual press conference from Jerry Jones, will be held Saturday, July 29th.
Apart from a trip across the country to play the Jaguars in Jacksonville on Saturday, Aug. 12th in the first weekend of the preseason, the Cowboys will use Oxnard as their home base until Friday, Aug. 18th. That’s when they’ll depart for Seattle for their second preseason contest and then return to the Metroplex afterward.
