Looks like I'll be driving the RV up there Sunday the 16th. Not sure where I'll be able to park for the night. Hopefully I can park on site for those three days. Doesn't really matter, I'm good at finding a spot. I'll be packing extra lawn chairs and an extra cooler for beers. BBQ at Bubbaramfan's RV for all Ram fans at least one night. Looking forward to meeting all of you. Be warned! I'm loud! (12 years in the Army will do that to a person) Coming by myself (and the pooch) The little lady says "no way" she can put up with Rams football for three straight days. I'm looking as forward to this as I was to losing my virginity. (well, almost)

OK, now we know what days they will be in Oxnard, my big question is, will the 17th 18th and 19th be open to the public?

Yes they're all open to the public. The 19th is only the Rams, first two are Rams and Cowboys.

Rams last open practice in St. Louis is August 11th, a potentially very important date...

On the Cowboys website they in bold red letters do say the deal is open but it's a 0 tolerance deal.
PLEASE:
ABSOLUTELY NO TAILGATING OR ALCOHOL ALLOWED
NO Strollers in bleacher area
NO Bicycles
NO Backpacks (small diaper bag okay)
NO Coolers/ Ice Chests
NO Outside food
ABSOLUTELY NO PETS! (not in carriers, not on-site, and not in your vehicle as there is no shade)

Rams' popularity in SoCal part of reason why Cowboys wanted to practice

Todd Archer, ESPN Staff Writer

IRVING, Texas – There might be a feeling of more to come when the St. Louis Rams practice against the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard, California, in August, with the possibility of franchise relocating to Los Angeles in the future.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has said several times he wants an NFL team in Los Angeles.

“With the initial focus groups and the initial looksies, the Rams are a very popular team in southern California,” Jones said. “And so one of the reasons why it was attractive to us to work against them was they have that good flavor. It is certainly not a reach at all to say that fans remember the Los Angeles Rams, and that is not a reach. So that makes them a good partner to practice within the Los Angeles area.”

Rams coach Jeff Fisher told reporters on Tuesday the practices with the Cowboys, which will be Aug. 17-18, are not tied to the team’s possible move.

“The two are not related,” Fisher said. “The Cowboys have practiced against somebody just about every year there. The facility is such that it welcomes another team. So we talked to a number of teams besides the Cowboys about working together with them and Cowboys is really the only one that worked out.”

The Cowboys practiced against the Oakland Raiders for two days last year in Oxnard with a brawl erupting that included some fans along a fence. They have practiced against the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos in recent years during training camp.

“We’ve tried to do this as much as we can when the logistics work out during training camp,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. “You grind away in training camp. Day after day after day, you’re working against each other. And we try to create as many competitive situations as possible. We think that’s good for our team. But anytime you start playing the preseason games or have an opportunity to go against somebody else in a practice setting, I think you can really benefit from it. It’s a good way to evaluate your team collectively and individually, and there typically are some good matchups there. If you remember the practices we had last year against the Raiders and in previous years against the Chargers, the energy level just naturally just gets a little higher. The competitive spirit gets a little bit higher.

“I just think that’s a really good thing for your team and it’s a great way to evaluate a lot of different things. So we’ll have a good couple of days with those guys after we play that first preseason game and hopefully it will benefit both teams.”
