Baker & Daniels Club Again Host to National Media at NFL Combine

The base camp for media covering the NFL Scouting Combine - the league's annual job interview process for draft-eligible college players - was again hosted in the Baker & Daniels Club at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Combine week is a showcase for both the players and the various head coaches, general managers and other team officials who come to Indy to evaluate the available talent, reported Patroits.com in its opening report, "2010 NFL Scouting Combine: Thursday Notebook." It marked the Combine's second year in two-year-old Lucas Oil Stadium.

The players and team representatives are ushered into the Baker & Daniels Club throughout the day to speak with reporters at three large podiums and several circular tables spread out across the vast club space, according to Patriots.com. Offensive players are presented on the first two days, and defenders arrive over the next two days.

While the assembled media are restricted in their viewing of the actual Combine workouts (limited to what's shown on NFL Network), the interview process gives media a first-impression opportunity with the future NFL stars, as well as a chance to get into more in-depth, sometimes one-on-one discussions with the top brass from around the league, Patriots.com reported.
