Home away from Home...

While in New Orleans the Middle Tennessee Football program headquarters will be based at the New Orleans Marriott on Canal St. in downtown. It is one of the nicer hotels in the city, has a prime location and most importantly is big enough to house the entire football team. Setting up the hotel is much more than just having rooms, its being able to cater large meals for the team and having enough space for a temporary office, staff meeting room, position meeting rooms, team rooms, training rooms and a make-shift equipment room.

All these arrangements were worked out last week when Director of Football Operations Chris Matusek visited the hotel. With quite a bit of planning and preparation on the front end the team has had an easy and normal transition adjusting to their new home.


Here is a shot of the team's meeting hall, the middle is a locker room and all meeting rooms are along the side walls.
