Whether you're a rookie heading to training camp for the first time or a veteran returning for another summer session, we hope you check out our interactive fan's guide to Patriots training camp before you venture to Foxborough.

The Globe's Mike Reiss serves as your virtual tour guide as he details everything you'll need to know about training camp from where to park to how to obtain an autograph to all the other activities and amenities available at Patriot Place.

One suggestion: Don't miss Reiss's video from the Hall at Patriot Place, which concludes with his visit to the museum's kick simulator. Reiss steps into the shoes of Adam Vinatieri and attempts the 23-yard overtime field goal that won the Snow Bowl vs. the Raiders on Jan. 19, 2002. Does he make it? Check out our interactive to find out.

  1. Mike, you look bad in introducing Patriots Experience. Be prepared. Jolt down phone numbers and other essentials in a sketchbook, and put it below the camera, out of the sight. In that way, you look more like a seasoned pro!

    By the way, where could we get your autograph at the practice?

  1. Thanks for the suggestions, MarkJ. Funny one on the autograph. I hear Brian Lowe, of Patriots.com and Patriots Today, is the media guy who draws the biggest crowd for autographs.

  1. This was *super helpful* for a first-timer.
    The only piece of information I can't find is what time the gates open. Or is there no lead-time, and you just all plow in at 9:30?

  1. Mike,
    The rules say video camera's are a restricted item. My regular camera also does video. Will I be allowed to bring it in?

  1. How about that $40 parking fee!
