TC Plans Don't Seem To Make Sense

[Garthshort]

At least to me. I've read that the team will spend about two weeks at the State Farm Stadium, then a week at Dignity Health Center and then some time with Minnesota. With the crazy weather spreading across the country, I would think that this would be the year to spend MORE time in the cool confines of State Farm. What am I missing?

Spending time in Minnesota where it is 30 degrees cooler on average seems like a good idea to me.

And the Vikings training facility is miles better, just ask Byron Murphy.

It's cheaper to fly the team to MN for the free meals.

Can afford a 777, but those meals...man.

Dang that is pretty swanky!

Hard to believe that the Cardinals unveiled their remodel training facility almost a decade ago:

When the Cardinals training complex in Tempe opened, it was considered state of the art.

Yah it's a very very nice facility.

I mean, they know better than we do. There's the practice bubble now, and I'm guessing it's cheaper to use that than do all the stuff just to turn the lights on at the Toaster.

Let me know the temp at MN and at State Farm. Naturally, I mean after it happens. And wasn't it in MN where one of its players died from heat stroke?

80° and sunny here today. Starting Sunday though, we’ll have a streak of 90’s that’ll last at least a week. And to the second part, yes, Korey Stringer died at training camp a little over 20 years ago.

Vikings now practice indoors with the new facility...Using same turf as their playing stadium.

They used to do have their team facility in Eden Prarie, but moved out to Viking Lakes 5 years back. The Minnesota Aurora Womens Soccer team also plays at TCO stadium which is on the training facility grounds.

Guys, thanks. Makes me feel better for the team in TC.
