Cowboys announce open practices at The Star in Frisco

From @ToddBrock24f7: Fans are invited to watch two practices at the Ford Center, the first coming just hours after final roster cuts are due on Aug. 27.

The Cowboys have been practicing in front of live fans for the past several weeks at their temporary home in Oxnard, Calif. But with their summer residency quickly drawing to a close, the faithful back in DFW will soon get their chance to watch the team work up close and personal, too.

The Star in Frisco will host two open practices at the Ford Center, the Cowboys announced Thursday. Both practices are scheduled for later in the month, following the team’s preseason finale at AT&T Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 24. The first session will take place just hours after roster cuts are due and will mark the debut appearance of the Cowboys’ official 53-man roster for this season.

Cowboys Night will take place Tuesday, Aug. 27 and kick off at 4:00 p.m. CDT with festivities and live entertainment taking place on Tostitos Championship Plaza. Doors will open at 5:00 p.m. for an open-session practice that will take place from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

The second practice, set for the same time the following night- Wednesday, Aug. 28- will be preceded by a Season Kickoff Ceremony including remarks from team owner Jerry Jones at 5:40 p.m.

Both practice sessions are free and open to the public and figure to draw a sizable crowd, with the Cowboys’ 2024 regular-season opener slated to take place less than two weeks later in Cleveland.
