49ers training camp recap, 8/1: First practice and Levi's Stadium field immediately a disaster

Training camp is here. Football is almost here. It's time to celebrate or panic -- whichever one is your jam. Also, Levi's Stadium has a terrible field. But we knew that already.

The San Francisco 49ers opened training camp at Levi's Stadium on Saturday, and did so at 7 p.m. ET for some reason. This means you're getting a post about it at the time I'm usually getting angry at video games and long after we're usually done posting for the day. But training camp represents the very, very close return of actual, factual football and we can all stop talking about coaching staff changes, retirements and Tom Brady's under-inflated balls.
