ICE

“The NFL’s Game Operations Manual covers virtually every facet of the game and game preparation — from where visiting teams work out the day before the game to the number of towels (600) and pounds of ice (500) that the home team must provide in the visiting team’s locker room”

In summary? Professional sports teams use a lot of ice.
Across the environment of sports medicine, ice is very widely used for both the treatment of acute soft tissue injuries and during injury rehabilitation. It is common practice among sports therapists to use pre-prepared bags of ice or containers of crushed ice for injury treatment on the pitch, in the dressing room or at the event first aid station.
However, as we know, ice melts. The requirement for on-hand access to ice for therapeutic use brings with it some important practical considerations, especially for individuals and institutions operating outside of the professional sports sphere.
- Production – not everyone will have access to an ice machine or a delivery from a supply company – we’re not all working with NFL budgets!
- Transport – a lot of sporting events take place away from established settings with infrastructure – refrigeration, electricity etc.
- Storage – many therapeutic uses of ice require it to be stored over time
- Portability – the need to get the ice to the injured party quickly and easily
