The lots will open to the public one hour before the scheduled start time of practice and lots will close one hour following the conclusion of practice. All fans attending practice will be subject to security screening before entering the seating area.

Why not Albany? The New York Giants will hold their 2014 training camp at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford for the second consecutive year and third in the last four seasons. The team last trained at the University at Albany in 2012, having spent 16 of the previous 17 summers there. The Giants first held training camp at their new and current facility in 2011, a season that ended with a victory in Super Bowl XLVI. Here are five benefits and differences from holding camp at the location they call home during the season.

Do other teams hold camp at their regular headquarters?More and more, teams are training at their regular-season headquarters. This year, more than half the league (18 of 32, 56 percent) will be "staying home" for training camp, according to the NFL. In 2000, only five of 31 (16 percent) teams stayed close to home.
