Are summer football practices open to public?

But I'm pretty sure the answer is no

This is part of the indoctrination process, baw. It will build character.

Then go watch the Texans.

I want to bring my 3 and 5 year Olds down to red stick for a couple days in august and let them experience some LSU football without all of the drunks and scumbags throwing beers on people and cussing.

Why are you sheltering your kids from the real world?

The nature of the beast. Pro teams have rules about scouting and they really use the preseason as a marketing deal. There are lot of pretty competent guys running around who won't make the 53 man team but they don't do anything special in those camps. College teams have different rules and the NCAA is very interested in who watches summer practices, so basically no one but the players can watch and take part. Sorry. The rules are about a different type of secrecy once camp starts in August and are not the same as over the summer where the coaches can't watch the 7 on 7. Secrecy is the LSU rule, since they seemed to have got burned years ago with people reporting on injuries and such. Some schools are not so paranoid but there it is. You had a good idea, but it won't fly in Baton Rouge.

Thanks for the context. I understand but still don't like it.
