The NFL Does It Well

Today the U.S. team trained at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice facility, built in 2006 and still looking brand new. After getting off the bus, the players and staff all took a moment to look through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the two-story weight room. It was pretty much everything 100 football players would ever need at one time.

After practice, the players took advantage of the state-of-the-art athletic training facilities, which include hot and cold tubs, and another tub with a huge treadmill for underwater running that helps injured athletes rehab.

Some of the staff took a sneak peek into the Bucs locker room, which was complete with carpeted floors, and each players name engraved above their lockers.

Needless to say, everything about the building was impressive. They definitely set a pretty high standard for locker rooms in the rest of the players' careers.
