At least the players won't be tired, sweaty, and in their practice gear.

It would take a lot away from the event to just meet the players in street dress at Ray Jay.   In the past many of the players have not stuck around long, so I wonder if there would even be an opportunity to see them all.   FAD has always had a family atmosphere.   Not sure we will have that at RJS, but I guess that is the price of success.

It sounds better if it were held on campus.

This will be my first trip over to FAD.  I would just assume and watch the practice on campus, keep em practicing - this will be a tough year.

I know at UK they have FAD at Commomwealth stadium, the fans mingle with the players, coaches and cheerleaders to get autographs.  Fans are able to pick up posters, schedules, and buy merchandise.  They also have things to do for the young fans, in all,, it is a good time.  I think this would be great for USF and would allow the diehard fans to a have a tailgate.

My initial reaction is that FAD on campus is a TRADITION I think I would keep.  I went every year when I lived there.

Spend the money on making it better, not on RJS.

I think it'd be nice if they at least wore their numbered jerseys - with the exception of an obvious few, it sure helps my son and I know who we're talking to!

If it's held at RayJay, would assume the players would wear their inuforms similar to today, Media Day.

I've been to FAD and catching those few minutes(never seemed anywhere close to 30).

I'll be there no matter where. Would like to see what it's like at RayJay, think I would prefer it.

perhaps holding the actual FAD portion at the soccer stadium would be best...

THey could still do the normal practice, then head over to the soccer stadium for the last 1/2 hour with the stands filled by fans. THe tents and other stuff could be ready for after the practice ends. This would be cheap, convenient and provide better viewpoints of the practice portion itself

just a thought. TO me, RJS FAD would be a hassle-- especially if it happens to rain
