Camp etiquette

Someone e-mailed today with the following:
I'm a life long Browns fan, but I've never gone to a training camp before. What's the point?! Isn't it just guys in shorts and shoulder pads?
If I do go, what do I do? Can you cheer? is there food?
Well, dear reader, treat training camp like you were going to a game. It's proper to cheer, scream, clap or holler whenever you see fit. If you're lucky, you may see teammates come to blows. If you're unlucky, you'll see a player get carted off with a career-threatening injury.
There's plenty of parking available around the team's complex. I always like to park a decent walk away because a lot of times kids will set up shop in their front yards selling hot dogs and lemonade. If I remember correctly, you can bring it into the practices.
Make sure to get there kind of early because the place will fill up. More than 2,500 fans attended camp yesterday. The Browns set up rows of bleachers for fans to sit on. Afterward, you can attempt to grab an autograph. Just kind of follow the crowd.
