Ah, yeah! So in the ’70s and ’80s, NFL teams often used those “buggies” or in-runners, which were basically golf cart-style vehicles, to get players around the stadium, especially back when fields were bigger and stadiums were more spread out.

 

They were used to transport players, especially during practice, warm-ups, and even sometimes game day, just to keep them from having to walk long distances in heavy gear. So, kind of a convenience tool and a bit of a status symbol for teams!

​

Yeah, exactly! That was a big part of their use, too. If a player got injured on the field, especially in a game or even during practice, they’d be carted off on one of those buggies. It was a faster, safer way to get them off the field, especially before modern ambulance services were as common right there on the sidelines.
