On the opposite side of the spectrum, here’s the Seahawks practice facility on the shores of Lake Washington (aka the most expensive real estate in the region):

Makes you appreciate the Saints have essentially an entire campus for a practice facility.

I’ve always found your latter point interesting and one of the many reasons I prefer CFB. It just feels so grand with the bigger and often nicer stadiums, which are generally louder in my experience. I’ve never been to a NFL game I was truly impressed with that aside from early 2010s Saints including the playoffs.

College though? LSU is second to none imo, but I’ve been in some fantastically raucous atmospheres at half the SEC schools plus Penn State, Michigan, and USC. Just nothing else like it.

It’s crazy to me that a sunbelt team like UL Laf has an indoor practice facility but an NFL like the Bengals do not.

Burrow is going to love the Saints facilities when he gets here.

The point being, a lot of NFL owners are cheap when it comes to their practice facilities.


The bigger point is, NFL teams don't have to recruit players.

You don't think having below average facilities hurt them in them in free agency?

I believe the answer lies somewhere in between "ambient temperature" and "excessive dehydration"

no one has ever claimed they weren't cheap

they used 2, or still only give each player 1 jersey(home and away), and players were responsible for any replacements.

which is why you would see bengal players, with sewn, or shoe strings keeping parts of jersey together, they didnt want to pay for a jersey, that the owner should be replacing.

browns are the worst, ever, when it comes to being cheap.

think the movie"major league" when she decides to sell, and wants to lose, and takes all of their perks away, thats the brown faimly

That’s because they’re on the west coast with amazing weather, who wants to be in San Fran or LA and be stuck inside all day? There’s little chance of inclement weather.

$$$ is the only recruiting factor for these guys. You think if Team A offered a LG $5mill/yr and had adequate facilities and Team B offers $4.2mill/yr with the Taj Mahal for practice facilities that the player isn't taking Team A 90% of the time?

They had Marvin Lewis as their head coach 5 years longer than he should have been there. That's the definition of cheap and lazy

Why would the 49ers need a indoor facility, it’s beautiful in Santa Clara.

Realistically, Joe B is only gonna be there for his rookie contract. I'm pretty sure Carson Palmer had a long talk with him.


You seriously think he’s gonna turn down a long term 400 million dollar extension and play on the franchise tag? Naw

No. He's going to probably tear another ACL in a few years because of Mike Brown's cheap arse downgrading his OL, and then he's going to eventually inform them he wants to be traded. Or he'll agree to play under the tag for a year or two so he'll be unrestricted and pick where he goes.
