The Florida Panthers have announced that their training sessions will not be open to the public, with the exception of official team practices. In a move that has surprised many fans, the team has decided to restrict public access to all training activities, citing a focus on maintaining team privacy and concentration ahead of the upcoming season.
While fans typically look forward to seeing behind-the-scenes action during training, the Panthers’ management emphasized the importance of a controlled environment. Practices, however, will remain open to the public, allowing supporters a chance to watch their favorite players in action.
“We understand the fans’ desire to be a part of the team’s journey, but we believe this decision will help us create a more focused atmosphere,” said a team representative. “Our players need the space to prepare without distractions as we aim for a successful season.”
The decision has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans expressing disappointment over the limited access, while others respect the team’s approach. Despite the restrictions, excitement for the Panthers’ upcoming season remains high, with fans eager to catch glimpses of the team’s progress during open practices.
