First pics from Rams camp...Part Deux

[VeteranRamFan]

Ok, so to continue with my original post. I sort of talked my way into camp today. All I wanted to do was get some pics of the bleachers with the shade canopies so those who were thinking of going would know what to expect.

I didn't expect to see any players and I didn't. But these really are pics of the training camp just that there isn't any training going on! Well, there were some guys in the weight room but we couldn't see who they were with the smoked glass on the building.

I drive up in my company truck. Not going to say which company but they are a BIG sponsor of this training camp. All the parking lots are blocked off with barricades and security people manning them. I turn into one of the lots at the Bren event center and this really nice girl just starts moving the barricade out of my way and lets me in! So far so good. I guess I need to take my company truck everyday to camp! (NOT!) My partner and I walk around a bit looking for the path to the fields. We are challenged a couple of times to see if we have wrist bands (we don't). No one was mean or demanding and neither were we. I also turned on my video recorder on my phone and placed it in my shirt pocket. First time doing this so now I know how to make it better. I'm going to try and upload the video and that will be self explanatory.

Bottom line is that I got to the fields and took some pics and then moved on. I didn't want to push it as I work for the sponsor and didn't want my name to get noted. So yes, it is only pics of empty bleachers, fences and gates and green grass but, it is training camp!

There is more to this story and I did edit the video a bit but I think I would just be boring you. Enjoy.
EDIT: Now I can't upload the video and I'm trying to get it on Flickr but not much luck. Guess you'll have to take my word for it.

Maybe Im missing something but you just got pics of grass?

It seems like they added the covered tents to 1 bleacher section in 3 areas ; both sides, and 1 on the West end (end zone) ..... is that right?

Did you have a desire to do a midfield nude grass angel?
Or is that just me?

@VeteranRamFan

Thanks for the 1st shots of the new camp set up! It looks awesome. I guess you really did sneak in... that makes these pics even better!!!

If you upload that video on YouTube you'll be able to post it here very easily.

Thanks again. I'm looking forward to more pics, videos, and reports.

Yes, that is about right. There are still uncovered sections of bleachers. Maybe they will be putting those up today, who knows. Maybe this is it. I'll see come Saturday.

Gawd! I so wanted to run out there, nude or not, didn't matter to me but I do like my job and want to continue my career for at least another 5 years. That will put me at 45 years.

And to think, this was supposed to be just a temporary job till my dream job opened up.

That grass is so nice!

Cut just right. It's like the first cut on a golf green.

That grass looks inviting. I wonder if they'd mind me practicing my golf wedges there? The divots can be put back in place. :sneak::baghead:

Wish they'd add names with the pics! I don't know all these guys outside of their pads.

I think the only unrecognizable player was the gold chain. . .

I think it might be McRoberts.

Westbrooks paints the picture of irony with his Crenshaw sweater and GSW hat. Tho he is from greater Sacramento so maybe he isn't bandwagon jumping.
