Head coach Tim Albin and the Charlotte 49ers will host an open practice for fans Saturday, April 18 at Jerry Richardson Stadium. Practice will run from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and will be followed by an on-field autograph session with coaches and players which will begin at approximately 12:30 p.m.

“Our guys have been working hard this offseason, and I really like the progress I have seen this spring,” said Albin. “The open practice will be a great opportunity for Niner Nation to come out to watch us work and spend some time with our players and coaches on the field after practice. We look forward to having our fans join us on April 18.”

The first 200 fans in attendance can also take home a piece of history. Bricks from the original Jerry Richardson Stadium structure will be available for fans as Charlotte continues its $60 million renovation of the facility.

The April 18 open practice will feature tailgate games and face painting, with concessions available for purchase on the East Concourse (between Gates 3 and 4). Fans can also pick up their Jerry Richardson Stadium bricks at the marketing table on the East Concourse. Gate 3 and Gate 4 will open at 10 a.m. for fans to enter the stadium.

Parking will be available in the CRI lots near Jerry Richardson Stadium. All fans are encouraged to come out early and enjoy a day with Charlotte Football.
