For the fourth consecutive year, the Falcons will hold Russell Falcons Training Camp at the team’s Flowery Branch headquarters. Atlanta’s 43rd training camp will be held from July 25-August 15, with select morning and afternoon practices open to the public. Admission is free.

The Falcons will hold 30 practices, which include 13 two-a-day sessions. Atlanta will travel to Jacksonville on August 9 for its first preseason contest followed by two home preseason games against Indianapolis the day after training camp breaks (August 16) and Tennessee (August 22). The Falcons will conclude the 2008 preseason schedule with a meeting against the Baltimore Ravens on August 28 at M&T Bank Stadium.

In 2007, Russell Athletic and the Atlanta Falcons announced an agreement that includes title sponsorship of the team’s three-week preseason training camp at its in-season training facility in Flowery Branch, Ga. The four-year agreement designates Russell Athletic as an official sponsor of the Falcons.

Other deal points include designating Russell Athletic as a preferred supplier of promotional apparel and premium items, presenting sponsor of all preseason games on WXIA-TV and their affiliates, plus radio spots during 20 Atlanta Falcons games on Falcons flagship radio station DaveFM, dominant signage presence throughout the interior of the Georgia Dome including a high-profile branded fan zone where fans will receive one-of-a-kind Russell Athletic apparel. Russell-branded products will also be available for purchase at all Falcons home games.

“We are excited about our new partnership with Russell Athletic – one of the leading sports apparel companies in the country,” said Falcons Executive Vice President of Marketing Dick Sullivan.
