I can tell you it was well received here. Fans got an up close view of how the players travel. The lines were hours long to get in.
I went through it. Was nothing special.

Wow, that's way better than I expected. I just thought it was a normal plane with seats. I need to get out more...
It is they only showed the first class section then cut the video. It’s nothing special it’s like a normal commercial plane.

isn't this the same plane that they use for the exclusive game experience game? Looks crazy familiar.

I expected Gatorade vending machines. :D
Not only do they not pay for Gatorade even when they’re traveling and on the road, it’s all free…. When I was sitting on the floor that the Cardinals were staying at the hotel in Vegas working my gig. A fridge was brought up to the floor, and it was stocked full of Gatorade’s,bottled water, protein drinks, and electrolyte powders on a table next to it as well as protein bars and stuff. The packages that they can put into the bottle water…. It was all there for players to take when they came up to the room or left their room or wanted to come out and get some, etc.. the hotel staff restocked it in the middle of the night too because a lot were taken.

The local news went through it all while broadcasting. This is a fairly new plane, not sure how long ago you went though? It's got beds inside and training area for players in need of treatment on the trip home. I thought it was pretty cool of them to fly the plane here and not getting paid to do it.

Just after they purchased it, it was at the Luke Air Force Base airshow… I mean, it could’ve been retrofitted from then, but that stuff clearly wasn’t in it at the time. Had a normal first class section/business class and then all the regular seating that’s in a normal commercial airliner.

The Cardinals operate up to five Boeing 777s (including active tail numbers like N777AZ and N860DA) for player and staff travel.

And aren't a few in regular passenger service when not being used by the team?
If you look it up, it says they have two on rotation and three in storage in two different locations in Pima and Roswell…. In case needed or for parts. So I guess not.
