You can usually wander right on in and catch some practices. There are some variables that can come into play, but generally you're pretty safe...

I couldn't imagine any scenario where they wouldn't want the public to see the practices.

DU released the press release announcing the Pro Camp via the DU Athletics Website.

I checked with Eric Bacher, and the practices are open to the public. So who is bringing lunch to the practice?

EVERYTHING is open access if you know what you're doing. Let me tell this little secret I've learned .... all you have to do is say "I'm an An Anonymous Poster on DG's Blog and I'm here on official business" (and say that verbatim)..... to any security guard, Usher, cop or faculty member - and they step aside and say, "have a nice day, Sir". I shit you not - it works..... every... single... time!
