The Super Bowl XLII New York Giants return to the University at Albany for training camp once again this year!!  The Giants are traveling to UAlbany for the thirteenth consecutive summer, matching the longest period in the team’s training camp history. 

UAlbany and the Giants are currently in the second year of an agreement that has kept the National Football League organization’s training camp in the Capital Region. The arrangement also includes the option for a third year in 2009.  In the 12 years that the Giants have trained at UAlbany, the preseason camp has averaged 31,032 fans per summer. The all-time mark of 45,040 was established in 2004. 

The New York Giants will practice 19 days on the UAlbany campus, including 10 double sessions. As has been the routine in previous camps, the Giants will not practice on the days following preseason games. On the day before a preseason game, the team will hold a one-hour jog-thru session.

§         Player Autograph Night is scheduled for Monday, July 28 following the camp’s first evening practice.

§         Giants Youth Day is Monday, Aug. 11

§         Giants Albany Idol is Tuesday, Aug. 12
