In general, over the past couple SS games, players have seemed rather excited about the chance to play in NFL venues. Fans like it too. The Lambeau game in particular was already a very sought after ticket. Doing this once each year has hurt nothing, and may have actually been a useful exercise.

Not that how the team feels about anything should matter at all, as I expect someone will object. But this and the Soldier Field game both actually probably do more to help than to hurt ND with potential recruits.

Did you guys think lights, boxes, turf, etc. were pretty dopey too? Is an upgraded locker room dopey? Or a training table?
