Arizona Cardinals purchase Boeing 777 for team travel
“It is a major undertaking every time we travel for a game,” said Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill. “This aircraft will not only provide major convenience but also maximum comfort for our players when getting them to and from road games. Every NFL team is looking for advantages wherever possible and we think this will certainly provide one.” (cardswire.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
cause chartering an aircraft is so difficult.
I remember when professional sports teams travelled by bus. Those were the good old days!
Or by train. Until the late 1950’s, there were no MLB teams West of St. Louis. 1926, it took THE University of Alabama football team a week to travel to Los Angeles for the Rose Bowl.
and you wonder why a nose bleed seat is $75
Think they will charter it out to other sports teams?
Back in the '60s the LA Dodgers had their own plane, a Lockheed Electra if I recall correctly. They were really ahead of the curve. After Walter O'Malley sold the team new ownership ditched the plane and reverted to charter.
