Before we left we got an email through our site from the FNL equipment manager offering to give us a set tour. We gladly accepted and Friday morning we made our way to a rundown high school near the Austin airport. I was surprised to find out that both the Panthers and Lions are housed in one place. The football field is the Panthers field and then they’ve turned the old baseball field into the Lions field. The Lions’ locker room is the old Panthers’ weight room.
I loved standing where Tami stood as the Lions lost their first game.
Seeing the El Fuego sign in the press box
Standing with Kaitlin in the middle of the P on the Panthers’ field.
Seeing the P that everyone slaps on the way out
Seeing the lockers of some of my favorite players
Seeing Tami’s picture
In Coach’s office
And definitely sitting in Riggins’ truck
This picture pretty much sums out how we were feeling about the whole thing.
The tour definitely made me feel like we had visited Dillon, Texas and goes down as one of my favorite moments of the weekend.
