Arrival early to the JMA Dome on Saturday for Orange Hour!

My son loves watching players warm up. So we are often there by ourselves. However concessions are empty so I’ll happily take the cheaper prices.
I like watching players warm up too. I watch stretching and form-running to see if anything is different from when I played high school football in the 80s. I like the punters and placekickers practicing with the returners catching. Receivers catching drills and then the O running plays against air. I like when the lineman do pass protection and throw their arms up in front of their chest. The whole thing fascinates me. The highlight is when they have their jerseys over their shoulders pads real tight on the ground and put the whole thing on at once, one move. In the 80s, we put on our shoulder pads first, buckled them up, and then put the jerseys on over the pads. It was 3 distinct moves, now they do the whole routine in one quick shot. Modern football!

it is fun to see how different teams do it too. And the routines players go through.
 
what time do they actually go on the field? i didnt think they were out there at 10am?

Yea they’re doing earlier warmups when gates open. Usually starts with individuals doing work, special teams etc. then they go back into the locker rooms and come out again.

We sit on the visitor side and it’s a good opportunity with interact with players if you’re into that. My son loves it. It’s super chill and a lot of the guys are just running or doing individual work.
