Raiders rookie minicamp practice notes

This weekend the Raiders rookies, first year players and tryout players are taking the field for the first time. These are my notes from day 1 of the rookie minicamp.

As we were heading out to the field, the first thing we saw was bulldozers and dirt.

As part of the Raiders continued makeover of the facility, field one and surrounding areas were torn up along with the back patio and awning that once stood. They have three fields in total. Field two is astroturf where they practice prior to road games that will occur on artificial turf.
