Tucker, the director of equipment operations, rolls out one of the final items: a 1,000-pound communication system, the hub that allows coaches on the sideline and press box to stay in contact throughout the game.

You see an equipment truck and people are taking pictures, waving at them, telling them to blow the horn, stuff like that.”
Braun arrives a day early for road games, placing jerseys in each locker. He adds a special touch with a name plate for each player.
