The Super Bowl LX practice facilities have been carefully chosen, and it's not because of any substation concerns. No, it's not about the theory that electrical substations cause injuries. The Seahawks will practice at Stanford, and the Patriots will practice at San Jose State, both locations used for Super Bowl 50. These decisions are made well in advance, typically as part of the formal proposal to host the game. But that doesn't stop some from making unfounded connections. Even if there's no evidence, some players might still believe there's a link to the substation theory. The smart move is to avoid practicing near the substation, especially if players think there might be an issue. This could be a significant factor when the 49ers try to attract free agents in March. While it's highly unlikely that practicing next to the substation has any negative impact, it's a risk-free choice for any facility not adjacent to one.
