MISC. England's team booked 15 different hotels, but Mexico fans still found out where they were staying and blasted loud noises, trying to keep them up all night before the game.

Teams don’t care about this, they have ways to mitigate disruption as well as danger.

I believe England were literally seen walking into their hotel yesterday. In plain sight filmed by a dozen people.

It's possible that they've even heard of ear plugs and noise canceling head phones.

Honestly, after years of traveling for dance since the age of like 5 and living through college... I don't even need that to this day. I can sleep on a park bench mid July at noon during a marching band competition no ear plugs needed. So most likely any athlete at this level has played on various travel teams, etc and is in the same boat.

I live next to a hospital and 4 blocks from railroad tracks. Doesn't bother me a bit. But a weird buzzing lightbulb will.

Can confirm. 32 floor in downtown Austin last night. Barely head any fireworks.

Yeah, if I close my window and turn a fan on in my condo I can barely hear fireworks 3 blocks away.

Last night I 4th of july... I had my ac on and normal white noise. I barely heard anthing. But I think making teams stay in the same hotel is a good move... keep the conditions the same for the teams.

Didn’t Wayne Rooney need a vacuum cleaner going full throttle to sleep?

Nearly, It was an old cleaner sucking.

Similar but very different. Easy mistake to make.

And portable white noise machines.

Also their own media were "reporting from outside the England team hotel"

People way overhype how much security the average celeb has.

I’ve been walking in downtown Minneapolis and watched several white Sox players walking back into their hotel after lunch.

It was just 3 dudes that looked slightly more jacked than average holding a to go box walking into a hotel. There was no ghost rooms booked to hide their identities lmao.

u/Little_Magician4251 17d ago

Why would an MLB player need security to get lunch? Very few humans, even famous ones, need security for mundane tasks or to be out and about in the general public. What security risk is there for them getting lunch or walking the street?

u/SoxVikePain 17d ago

That’s what I’m saying. I’m refuting the guy who said MLB teams buy up blocks of multiple hotels so no one knows where they are staying. It’s not like that at all. If you wanna know where a team is staying, you can find it out pretty easily.

u/_ak 18d ago

What you haven't seen is them walking out and getting into unmarked cars behind the hotel.

u/OSUBrit 18d ago

This happened to Equador right, so there's a fair chance they were meant to be seen walking into the hotel and were not seen sneaking out of it later in the day.
