1) The field is finished and ready to be rolled inside
2) The production monitor wall in the FOX "A" Unit

Cool captures, Jay. The fact they roll the field into the stadium is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing.

they r..roll it in?

[alan_potter]

Looks like it. It normally lives outside of the stadium so that it can grow out ion the open air, with rain and sunlight and stuff, then they roll it into the arena on matchdays...

Bizarre!

Wow. I never would have thought that it was like that. Is the teams name and stuff like...paint?

[hckyguy14]

Excellent shots! Go Patriots!

Cool stuff Jay. Have fun working the game on Sunday. I'll be out there at the end of the month for ST, look forward to having that beer.

Gosh wish I could find that show on TV that did a report on the stadium. It was one of those build it bigger episodes. Very cool stadium.

If I recall too, there is an option to have teams practice or play on field outside, while something else goes on inside stadium? My aunt lives about 15 minutes away from here up in Sun City. Just wish she had some connections for tickets, since I'd have free accomodation!

Cool shot. Must be exciting see all that come together. I went by a couple weeks ago when they were setting up tents and things outside the stadium.

[Popper]

nice shots... I love the second one of the booth. I work in TV and it would be my dream job to direct the Super Bowl.

There are alternate outdoor practice facilities. There really isn't enough room around the sidelines to use the main field outdoors, safely.

It's a professional stadium. Bear in mind that here in the USA they usually sell "naming rights" and The University of Phoenix was simply high bidder. This is the regular season home of the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL.

NAU is about to do a huge referb to our Dome and adding some extra fields and stuff. gonna be ridiculous. but they too are thinking about getting a "sponsor" for the dome I believe :-/
