Has anyone ever done it? It's my second year being a season ticket holder and I received an e-mail last night about it. So I signed up saying what game I'd like to do it and the immediately responded saying I'm signed up for Tampa Bay October 6th. Sounds like it'll be fun. Doesn't sound like we'll meet anyone or take pics, but sounds like a fun experience to be on the field a few minutes before kickoff.
 
I did it.
Was a nice experience.
Met Morten Andersen, but wasn’t able to take a picture.
 
You have to get there at like 8am for a noon game. Other than that it’s pretty fun.
 
I've done it a few times. Met Warrick Dunn, Primetime, got to take some pics with Saintsations. Only drawbacks are once you're in to dome, you can't go back out to Champions Square and, since my seats are in the terrace, I've missed opening kickoff. Cool being out on the turf though.
 
We have always avoided it just because of the time commitment. Now, if they threw in breakfast...

But really, those that have gone, what do you do for the 3.5 hours? After the rehearsal, is it a lot of waiting around in a room (kind of like being an extra?), or do you get to at least pretend like you have pre-game field passes and roam the sidelines?

Most of the time is spent out on the field waiting for rehearsal. You get to see the players warming up which is cool. After rehearsal, they usually let you go back to your seats and then you have to meet back again before you are supposed to go out onto the field. I thought it has been a great experience, the only issue is the time that you have to devote to it and you will also most likely miss the first few minutes of the game depending where you sit. The players do run right by you during intros and there is nothing like being on the field before the game (will give you goosebumps).
 
Can you bring a guest? I.e. if you have two season tickets and you sign up do both of you get to participate or is it just the ticket owner?

i have 2 season tickets and signed up for 2 ppl and got it.

 
It's my second year as a STH also and signed on for the flag unfurl too. I'll be doing Cowboys game. Looking forward to it, even if I may miss the start getting back to the terrace.
 
I have done it 3 or 4 times. if your one who has to be in your seat for kick off, you won't make it. It'll take you a little bit to get to your seats. but its cool to be on the field and around all the players. I did it for an Atlanta Primetime game one of the times and it was pretty awesome.
