Pro Day Testing in the Indoor Practice Facility Will be Open to the Public

The indoor practice facility will have a fenced area available for fans and family members of players to view the testing. That fenced area will be as you enter the main entrance on the west side of the indoor practice facility.

Fans and family members viewing the pro day will need to stay behind the fence.

This is an important day for the former Cowboy players being tested, and we want NFL personnel to be able to evaluate those players with no distractions. Due to the importance of the day to the players being tested, fans are asked not to interrupt or attempt to speak with players or NFL representatives during the time the testing is being conducted.

Parking

Individuals attending may park in the Stadium Lot east of War Memorial Stadium and south of the indoor practice facility without the need for a parking pass.

The 2022 NFL Draft will be held Thursday-Saturday, April 28-30 in Las Vegas, Nev.

At the conclusion of pro day, Craig Bohl will kick off his ninth season at UW with the opening of spring practices. Wyoming will take part in 15 practices, culminating with the annual spring game April 30 inside War Memorial Stadium.
