Not only does www.sonc.com have two sideline passes at all athletic events, but the photog for the website also gets pressbox privileges, which in the case of that game, included barbecue brisket and fixin's! I had the luck of shooting some rugby in New Orleans, where a field can truly be muddy! And of course, it is a rough game, while many other sports have turned to synthetic equipment rugby players still have leather balls.
