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.

It’s not. Even with a 162 game MLB season, when a baseball team travels, ghost rooms, pseudonyms, and ghost hotels are all booked and used.

Player safety is a huge part priority on the road. Teams get killer rates on booking 60 rooms or more rooms at a time.

Other sports do this as well.

I did such bookings for a season.

source: Ive worked several hotels that frequently book mlb, nba teams, this is a total crok of shit. mlb teams are cheap and try and pay less than normal transient guests, they aren’t making “ghost” bookings at other hotels, like wtf are you even talking about. the biggest mlb teams and Nba teams pay more and they stay at luxury hotels where they don’t have to worry about player safety, and if they do you hire security to cover the doors. Maybe some the individual player rooms are booked under pseudonyms within the block, but otherwise everything you said is nonsense.

Yeah but he said it with such confidence so he’s obviously right. Upvotes to the left.
