(Last year, I learned where the visiting team\u2019s weight room was located, which, really, I had no idea!)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I suspect there will be lots of folks at the front office panels, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tomorrow\u2019s \u201cThis Week in Purple\u201d will be a discussion thread for the day\u2019s activities. If you\u2019ll be there, perhaps we can arrange a meet-up.
