I assume they don't practice more than 3 hours straight, which means the stadium can fit in at least 3 training sessions per day without issue. For example one team would practice 10am-1pm, the other 2-5pm and the first one again 6-9pm, switched around the next day.
And I'm not sure what home vs away team does in the context of closed practice session or not?

They both had about two thirds as much time as they normally would to practice, and I honestly don't know what effect, if any, that had on procedure. That and the availability of alternate fields (visiting teams often get permission and use nearby college fields to practice) are what makes the "away" team issue relevant: In this case the "home" team had to spend about three times longer in the air than any visiting team that week (except Denver, obviously).

Hopefully this will finally get McDaniels fired from the Broncos

I think the evidence should be thrown out based on their sucking in that game. *NM*

The LEAGUE said no one could tape it, and virtually shouted it at the Cheatriots after Spygate.

So they were allowed to watch but not tape?

Well, I suppose they could spend all their time watching the '9ers practice if the skipped their own

Probably would still be illegal, but I'm not sure it could be done so easily.

Normally they do, at least part of the time, but there were extenuating circumstances.

My point is that all they'd have to do is tell the people running Wembley

Closed practices are fairly common, but I'm not sure how it works when BOTH teams are "visitors".

Pretty sad when the Faders can tut tut Denver for poor sportsmanship though.

cut blocks are illegal at the LOS and also sometimes in the open field depending on the play
