They want to be in a secluded area where it's just the team. They want to be in a place with less distractions. Since many of the players live around Florham Park, they wanted to travel a distance away from that
Double D's is another place to kill some time between practices. It's right off 287 in Morris Plains. It's a pretty good titty bar that I use to frequent whenever I'm in the Motown area.
I'd say each will be 1.5-2 hours. Thats what it has usually been. Cameras are allowed, but not video cameras. http://www.newyorkjets.com/camp/faq Its on the link I posted.
According to what was reported the Jet- SUNY-Cortland partnership is for an 1 year trial basis.The Jets want to make sure it works for them before commiting to a long term deal.
That's during training camp. Training camp will still be open to the public in July and August, only its in upstate New York now. If I remember correctly, this is the first time the Jets have opened a mini-camp to the public? But anyways, TC will still be open to the public as it was in previous years, just in a different location. And places to go in the area? Outside the malls, not much else unless youre into roller blading. Florham Park Roller Rink is right around the corner. There's also a pizza hut KFC combo restaurant around there I believe that i always used to hit up.

All you need to know if you are going to camp http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/football/jets/blog/ Rod Boone Even though the weather certainly isn't going to cooperate, this week will have a bit of an August feel to it. After wrapping up their final Organized Team Activity session last Thursday, it's now time for the Jets to conclude their offseason training with the mandatory minicamp, scheduled for tomorrow through Thursday out at the The Hanger. And for the first time in the franchise's long history, not only will the minicamp not be held at Hofstra, but the practices will also be open to the public. Admission is free and the parking lots open a half-hour before the Generation Jets area opens. That's right. So that means you can toss a cooler loaded with goodies in the trunk, buckle the kiddies in the back seat, and pluck down more than $2.70 per gallon to gas your car up for the ride over to The Hangar. Nothing like a little full-squad football action to whet the appetite as the NFL prepares to go dark for most of the next month-plus before training camp starts. If you can swing the trek, you can get the answers to some of your burning questions. You get to see Mark Sanchez's progress in his battle with Kellen Clemens for the starting quarterback job. You'll get to hear the non-stop yakking of linebacker Bart Scott as he lines up in the aggressive defense that we've been discussing and writing about. Additionally, you can keep your eyes parked on Vernon Gholston so you'll have your own answer to all those "So, how does he look?" inquiries that keep getting tossed out there. Want that first glimpse of rookie running back Shonn Greene while also getting an early peek at how swole Thomas Jones is? Now's your time. Yes, you can even get a better handle on how the race between punters Eric Wilbur and T.J. Conley is shaping up. I know you guys are salivating over who emerges on top in that battle. We'll have several updates, including our detailed practice reports, right here throughout the week. With this being our last real access to the team until the end of July, we're looking to quench your thirst for all things Jets this week. So keep checking back with us daily and don't forget to drop back by Friday when we'll hold our second Live Chat at noon. In case you need a little somethin' extra to chew on in the meantime, check out these darts Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder hurled the Jets way over the weekend. He's Joey Porter-esque. Anyway, below is a small sampling of the Jets Week schedule and what fans can expect: Tuesday: There are two practices scheduled, one that begins at 10:25 a.m. and another that commences at 3:55 p.m. An important note: Should rain force the team to use its indoor facility, the practices will be closed to the public. The Jets Shop tent, where fans can purchase official team merchandise, and the GenJets Fest are both scheduled to be open from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then again from 3 p.m. to 7p.m. Wednesday: Two practices are scheduled with the first beginning at 11:10 a.m. and the second at 4:10 p.m. The Jets Shop and GenJets Fest hours of operation are from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.. Thursday: One practice slated to start at 10:25 a.m. with the Jets Shop open from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. GenJets welcomes fans from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and there's also football clinic going on from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Registration is required at a cost of $25 to participate in the football clinic. There are two levels -- 101 and 201. For those taking the 101 session, coaches and players will go over the rules of the game and also offer instructions. For those taking part in the 201 session, they will get the chance to be on the field with current as well as former Jets players who will run participants through a variety of drills. Directions: From Long Island, take whatever route is the best for you to get to the New Jersey Turnpike. Take the Turnpike to Exit 14-14C, merge onto I-78 W toward US-1/ Newark Airport, keep right to take NJ-24 W. via Exit 48 toward I-287. Take the CR-510 exit, Exit 2B-A toward Florham Park/Morristown, and merge onto Columbia Turnpike via exit 2A. Turn left onto Park Avenue, and after the fourth light make a left into Jets event parking lot.
Morning is closed to the public due to the weather. No announcements yet on the afternoon practice. Check the Jets website or twitter page. Pray for no more rain. I'm skeptical about the afternoon practice, though.
