Training Camp for the Washington Redskins takes place in July and August at Redskins Park, on what had once been a dairy farm at 21300 Redskin Park Dr. in Ashburn, Va. The team had been considering moving the training camp facility to George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., but announced in early 2011 they would not.

      Although the Redskins used to charge fans $10 for admission and another $10 for parking to watch training camp when owner Dan Snyder first acquired the team, admission and parking is now free. Fans should know that there are no bleachers available to sit on to watch practice, so they are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. Otherwise, fans can stand or walk around the practice field to watch the action. Disabled parking is available, as is designated a viewing area for wheelchairs.
