Observations from Tampa & Raymond James Stadium

That comment is hilarious
What'd you think of the pirate ship?
I saw someone cutting it down,I always thought it would be pretty cool to watch a game from it

You know, I actually think it's pretty cool. I've been to Ray-J a few times before and sat near it once. It is unique which I like and is probably a lot of fun to watch the game from.

You knew damn well the team was staying at that hotel ;)

Lol, I had no clue.. We walked in and I looked to my left and thought, damn, that guy looks like Lorenzo Alexander.. And that guy looks like Brandon Merriweather.. Wait a minute, that's DeAngelo Hall getting off the elevator! It literally was like bam, bam, bam before it clicked that it was the team hotel. There were also 2 weddings going on so the lobby was jammed with people so if I didn't know those players we probably wouldn't have even known they were staying there.

Lots of fanboys in the lobby though getting autographs and pictures. A couple of ladies were lingering about as well. My wife asked 'are those players wives or girlfriends?' I said, 'Uh no babe, those are groupies.' Gave me a chance to peek though, lol.

I was listening on the radio late in the 4th quarter and you could audibly hear the RGIII chants in the stadium.

Sounds like a great experience. Thanks for sharing!

Me? I would've knowingly had my wedding and reception at the team's hotel. 'Oh honey, Look! The Skins are here too. What a coincidence.' [at the church].

Looked like a lot of Skins fans in attendance. Pretty cool to hear another RG3 chant while on the road. Must be a lot of Skins fans in the area too. When I was on vacation in Clearwater earlier this year whenever I wore Skins gear I would get comments. Everyone was geeked about RG3 even back then.


It's been like that all year on the road iN STL there were a lot of skins fans that showed up. Griff is making us that noticeable again.

Surprisingly, there are a lot of Skins fans in S Fl. Ray J is a cool place to see a game. Fans are cool. The Cannon only pisses you off if you're on the receiving end of a loss......

I gotta ask, what hotel did you stay at? I'm curious to see what kind of accommodations the guys get on the road.

most stayed at a holiday inn express, cundiff and a few others slept on the busIs this normal for NFL players, even for the "poor" six-figure incomes? Seems like a good night's sleep would be important...

edit: If a joke flew over my head, alright.
