Seahawks Training Camp schedule, quick notes

The Seahawks officially kick off training camp tomorrow, Wednesday July 24th, with physicals and a walk through, and their first practice takes place on Thursday. As you probably know, the Hawks open up a good number of practices to the public, and for the first time that I can remember in recent history, ALL OF THEM are already sold out. To say there is some excitement around this season would be trite, well-worn material.

By the way, Paul Allen tweeted this awesome calendar so I am posting it here because you might be interested:
