And players will never have an excuse for not knowing the times of meetings or practices; the daily schedule is posted on electronic message boards all around the building.room.
Bryant probably hates all those clocks. :p
The draft "War Room" is high-tech and includes an interactive video wall with 15 55-inch LCD displays, two 98-inch touchscreen displays for player comparisons, and six secure phones for conversations with prospects and teams on draft day. The team added a very nice touch by putting old hand-written scouting reports of players like Drew Pearson, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith on display outside the war room.
Can you imagine a draft prospect getting a call from Jones or Garrett, while watching ESPN or NFLN seeing them talk on the phone at the same time from THAT facility??? Players will be in awe.

I think the biggest problem for Dez is the fact that he lives in the southern part of Dallas and this facility is on the opposite side of town. He has a long commute everyday.

I thought this was going to be another Dak or Zeke thread.

I work two blocks from The Star. I get to work at about 10 until 6am. The stadium has two multi-level parking garages in front, which makes a huge ally to the entrance. They have a mammoth video screen on the end of the stadium right below the Ford logo. There are light poles that run the length of this walkway between the garages. Each pole has a vertical screen attached, which mirrors the big screen when running video.

Every Monday as I come to work those video screens are fired up and they are showing videos of the team. Sometimes plays and sometimes fans in the stands.

It's still dark out, and the brightness of the screens just throws off a terrific array or dancing light as the screen changes. Driving up, before you can even see the screens since they sit maybe 70 yards off the street, framed by the garages, it throws off this light show that illuminates the trees and street.

If I wasn't perpetually late for work I'd video this.

Please leave 10 minutes earlier tomorrow. ;)

With his money he can hire a limo driver to pick him up and get him there on time. His commute should not be an issue.

What's it going to be then, eh?

Thanks for posting.

The practice facility really matters a lot and is a source of pride. Just like the stadium.
