Raymond James We Hardly Knew Thee

We just finished up our training session in Raymond James Stadium where the team went through some light warmups, a few passing and movement drills and finally some finishing practice. We were surprised also to learn that the stadium's namesake is in fact not a real person. Yup, Raymond James Stadium actually comes from Raymond James Financial Inc., a compilation of the names of the company's founders.

Over the loudspeakers we heard the sounds of birds being played, which is a pretty drastic change from the traditional Jock Jams fare. The bird sounds are played to discourage migratory birds from nesting in the light fixtures above the stadium. The YNT Blog didn't have its binoculars handy, but we'll just assumed that the tactic is reasonably successful.

We'll have a few more pictures from training to follow, and a podcast later on as we move towards tomorrow's game.
