Quote:Question: will the new indoor practice field be air conditioned?  I obviously could see the advantage of practicing in cooler temps. But wouldn't you lose your heat advantage against northern teams like Green Bay?

 

 The thing is, you have to practice like you play.  It comes down to a matter of the players taking care of their bodies.  If they practice solely in a controlled environment, how are they going to perform in a game in 90+ heat and high humidity?  What about in the rain (which we really need right now)?

 

It's all about not only proper hydration, but also a proper diet.  My son used to work at a certain establishment that didn't exactly serve "healthy food" and served adult beverages.  He used to talk about players showing up and indulging in not only the adult beverages, but also the unhealthy food.

 

Put it this way.  If you indulge in a lot of beer on Saturday and chug a lot of Gatorade on Sunday morning, you still are probably not hydrated properly.
