A lot of them play golf at Stonebriar Country Club and hang out in the hotel bar but you can also try Jerry's golf course in Grapevine. ;)

They will have 1 practice at the stadium that will be open to the public prior to the beginning of the season.

I've had seats near some Cowboy's players at Mavs' and Stars' games in the past. I'm sure they attend Ranger's games also. You'll want to get really good seats, however.

I've seen them at various bars and restaurants over the years, but it was always a random occurrence and not something that you could plan on happening.

Training Camp really is the best place to see them, especially if you stay at the team Hotel.

Some people have reported seeing them on their way from the parking lot into the stadium on game day, but you'll have to be several hours early for the game.

Not trying to sound rude, but put yourself in their shoes and let them live their lives in peace. It's got to be the worst part of their profession having total strangers come up and wanting to meet them. Again, not trying to rain on your parade, but just urging a little common sense.

Depends. I personally would be irritated by it, but I think a lot of these guys understand that it is a blessing to be in their position. I wouldnt hesitate to simply shake their hand and tell someone I'm a fan.

I've never been one to want to meet any celebrity, but being recognized and acknowledged in public is the trade-off--and a pretty fair one considering their bankroll. It cant all be peaches and cream.

Where does it say that being disturbed in public by a fan is the trade off for being a celebrity? They're humans just like you and me. This is why most of them don't go out in public or conceal their identity. I would never do it, but that's just me. I think it's inconsiderate.

Being a celebrity comes with plenty of perks, good and bad. One of the bad ones just so happens you have to deal with strangers on a regular basis who want to meet you. Which, honestly isn't that bad considering the good perks, heck if any pro wants to swap shoes I'd be more then willing. I think I could handle shaking hands with strangers every day to have a bank roll of millions. :D

I realize that there are those that do this but I'm just not one of them. I was taught to treat others as you would want to be treated and I wouldn't want that to happen to me. Just think about it and how it would affect you if you were in their shoes. You say that they have money and the heck with them and they should expect to be disturbed everytime they're out in public but it prevents them from enjoying their time out with friends and family.

Let me weep for those who must say hello to an admirer while they’re away from their yacht or mansion. Lest remember who pays for all their extravagance.

I never said to the heck with them, just I don't think they can honestly complain, especially when most of them are attention seekers themselves. Most of them love dealing with the average fan (not lunatics/stalkers), though with the paparazzi/media that's a completely different story haha.

#1 is training camp . Stay at the hotel . Since your a guest you can hang around the lobby the players go in and out after practice . I met almost every player last year on Oxnard and got an entire full size helmet of signatures . I was taking a whizz in the urinal stall and hatcher , Ratliff , spencer , and the rest of the LBs/ DL surround the urinals around me . I felt like a midget . It was one of the most interesting moments of my life . Hatcher and spencer to my left . Ratliff and lee to my right all 5 of us taking a leak lol !

Ps if you go to a game in Dallas . Find the fenced off gate area where the players walk to their cars after . If they win they are usually in a good mood and will sign some autographs .

If everyone was like you then the celebrity would never be able to finish their meal or enjoy the evening. Thank God most people are more considerate than that.

Negative, I have never--and would never--approach a celebrity; not because of any morality issues, but because I don't care to meet them. However, if no payed them any attention, they would cease to be celebrities. Take to poor case of Pete Rose trying to hawk his sigs for a living--I'm sure he wouldn't agree with you.

Everybody should try to go to at least one training camp. You really don't even have to stay at the hotel, because there are usually players who will hang around after the practices and sign autographs.
