The Denver Broncos have announced their 2015 training camp schedule.  

The Broncos will welcome their fans back to a renovated Dove Valley practice facility for 14 practices from July 31-August 20.

Fans were kept away from training camp at Dove Valley last year as the facility underwent a $35 million facelift.  Fan seating will be along the grass berm known as "fan hill" on the west side of the practice fields.  The berm was increased in size to accommodate more fans, bathrooms and concession stands. 

All open practices are free of charge and will run from 10:00 am - 12:30 pm with an autograph session following the conclusion of practice. Gates will open one hour before practice begins and free parking at the facility will open 90 minutes prior on a first-come, first-served basis.

The team's annual scrimmage at Sports Authority Field at Mile High will be moved to Dove Valley this year.  The stadium received new turf and will not be ready until the Broncos first exhibition game at home against the San Francisco 49ers on August 29.

The Broncos will welcome the 49ers to Dove Valley on August 27 for two practices before their preseason matchup.  The joint practices will be closed to the public.

The 2015 training camp will witness several homecomings for the new coaching staff, beginning with new head coach Gary Kubiak. Kubiak returns to the franchise he played for from 1983-1991 as backup to hall of fame quarterback and current Broncos executive vice president/general manager John Elway.  Kubiak also served as the Broncos offensive coordinator from 1995 until he left to become the head coach of the Houston Texans following the 2005 season.  

Former Broncos head coach Wade Phillips (1993-1994) returns to Denver as defensive coordinator, a job he also held under former Broncos head coach Dan Reeves from 1989-1992.  

Rick Dennison will once again serve as offensive coordinator, a position he held under former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan from 2006-2008.  Dennison, a Broncos linebacker from 1982-1990, also served as a Broncos offensive assistant (1995-1996), special teams coach (1997-2000), and offensive line coach (2001-2005, 2009).

The Broncos head into training camp focused on revamping an offensive line that will return just one starter from last year, right guard  Louis Vasquez.  Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady tore his ACL earlier this year and will miss the entire 2015 season.  The Broncos will also switch to Wade Phillips' 3-4 defense that will involve a search for a nose tackle.
