Default Football Question

I was watching my beloved Seahawks play St. Louis this afternoon. As the visiting team, I know the Seahawks all got into a plane and flew to St. Louis, but what about the home team? Do the individual players park at the employee parking lot or do they gather at the training place and bus over together to the stadium?

Needless to say, I will never have a career in the NFL as a linebacker.

Can't say for the pros, but I know college home teams stay at nearby hotel and bus to the stadium.

Have an extra drumstick - you'll make linebacker!

Usually even the home team stays at a hotel...reduces the distractions AND gives the team control of the guys in order to get them to the stadium without individual "issues."

I've flown charters for some NFL teams, and I suspect that they could eat an entire turkey apiece. Never seen so much food on an airplane!

I have actually wondered this myself and paid attention to it at the stadium one day.

In Green Bay there is a closed lot for players and coaches and they arrive in their own vehicals

I see that great minds think alike!

Don't let my husband hear you say that though. He thinks only old coots wonder about these kinds of things. Well, I say he has no class.

I believe for my home team, there's "Players' Parking". I think they all drive themselves in for each home game.

You strike me more as a... Kicker, definitely not a linebacker.
