DAVIE (CBSMiami) – Fans have been waiting a long time to see the Miami Dolphins back on the football field, and now they'll finally get their chance.

The beginning of training camp means that a new football season is just a few short weeks away.

For us here in South Florida, there is much to be excited about heading into the 2016 NFL season.

The Dolphins have a revamped front office and coaching staff, led by General Manager Chris Grier and Head Coach Adam Gase.

The Dolphins will hold training camp at the team's practice facility in Davie, located at 7500 SW 30th street.  For directions and parking information, click here.

Camp will open on July 29th and there will be 12 practices that are free to the public.

Tickets for all practices can be requested on the team's official website.

With the practice facility located just off of University Drive, there are several restaurants within just a few miles for fans looking to grab a bite before or after a practice.

Food and drinks are available at the training facility's concession area as well.  They will be open each day serving an assortment of breakfast and lunch items, depending on the time of day, as well as bottled water, Gatorade and soda.

No outside food or drink is allowed to be brought inside.

Backpacks and purses are also not permitted. During open practices, the team follows the NFL's Game Day Bag Policy which is as follows:

One bag that is clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and does not exceed 12" by 6" and 12" or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar). In addition to one of the clear bags noted above, fans may also carry in a small clutch bag or purse approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap. An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection. Diapers and wipes can be carried in a clear bag. Each member of a family, including children, will be able to carry an approved clear bag and a clutch purse, providing ample storage capacity.

There are also several new features for fans attending camp this year, such as a shade canopy over the seats to protect fans from the sun.

Also, kids will be brought onto the field following practice for autographs with their favorite Dolphins players.

Fans can also purchase a wide variety of Dolphins merchandise at the team's pro shop, which is located at the entrance to the practice facility.

The pro shop will be open during all public practices.  On days without practice, store hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
