"Fans attending training camp might have stars in their eyes - but it won't be the famous Dallas Cowboys emblem.

The NFC powerhouse will be at Dove Valley for two days of joint practices Aug 13-14, leading to the preseason game Aug. 16 with the Broncos at Invesco Field at Mile High.

But logistical issues with two full-squad NFL teams and their staffs, combined with the size of Broncos practice facilities, will prevent opening those workouts to the public.

The Broncos will hold two-a- day practices in front of fans from Friday to Aug. 12, with the exception of the morning of Aug. 1.

Those in attendance generally can't get any closer to the action.

The Broncos allow fans to sit on the hill adjacent to the west field and just off the sideline on the east field, a few feet from team and individual drills.

When workouts are concentrated on one field, fans often are ushered out between the playing surfaces for better views - and possibly some idle chatter with their favorite Broncos.

"Don't be afraid to talk to the players," cornerback Dominique Foxworth said. "We like to interact with the fans."

Overall, 21 full-squad workouts and seven special-teams practices are open to the public, with the schedule subject to change."
