17. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. Graphic Option: Create a field / stadium design for your team. (2.5 TPE)
As sad as I am to see Silverback Stadium go by the wayside, I am excited about the upgrades we can put in our new stadium. The first and perhaps most obvious inclusion would be a state of the art, 100 acre zoo. The stadium would be connected to one end of the Zoo, right by the primate section. That way, our Silverback mascot can be viewed by fans and help cheer us on. This would of course be done with the help of the American Zoological Association and would be up to all the relevant guidelines. The next thing I'd make sure we have would be tripling the number of bars, quadrupling the number of Coca-Cola freestyle machines, and making sure there are plenty of new bathrooms. When you come to a game, what's better than having instant access to your favorite beverage, adult or otherwise? Plus, if you're going to be sitting in a stadium watching a game for a few hours, you have to be able to get to a bathroom quickly. Finally, I'd hire a Michelin star chef to completely revamp our concessions. With the ever-increasing price of football tickets, we need to make sure coming to the game with your family is worth it for the average fan. New, better food at a reasonable price will help make sure we fill our seats and always have the best home field advantage possible. Not to mention that we'll offer a dish each week that celebrates defeating our opponent!

18. Written option - which teammate of yours is the ultimate team player and why? How does this person exhibit selflessness and put the team first? Are they a great locker room presence who encourages others? Do they play an important but unappreciated role on the team which doesn't receive much recognition for awards? Graphic Option: Create a graphic of your player with your teammate who exhibits a team-friendly attitude.
This is an easy answer - Mac Griddle. From the moment I joined the New York locker room, Griddle welcomed me with open arms and made sure I felt at home as a Silverback. Despite also being a safety, Mac was eager to help in my journey as a rookie ISFL and never saw me as a rival. Throughout the years, Mac and I have developed a bond as a part of #SafetyGang and have taken pride in shutting down the opponents' passing game. Despite each of us likely taking stats away from the other, we just don't look at it that way. He's all about the team and that's something that really made me instantly respect him and enjoy his company. He was absolutely robbed for Breakout Player of the Year this season and I'll never know what the award voters were thinking. He showed that whether he's asked to play a starring role, a supporting role, or do anything in between, he's ready, willing, and able to help the team out. His performance this year played a massive role in our overall success and I don't see that changing in the future. Plus, with the stat changes for safeties it's easy to get frustrated by lack of showing up in the statsheet, but that never bothers Mac. He's the same win or loss, interception or not. A true team player and an absolutely incredibly user, there's just nobody like Mac Griddle!

26. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?
No question about it, I would've been a running back. My initial render used the body of Nick Chubb and he's probably my favorite player in the IRL NFL. I was very close to picking running back even with safety available, so it's an easy call. I love having the ball in my hands and playing an active role in my team's success. While I do prefer defense, the idea of being one of the offensive stars not only on my team, but in the league as a whole would've been an incredible goal to chase. Plus, I'm all about speed. I'll be maxing out my safety speed this offseason and it would've been the first thing I really built up as a running back. With blazing acceleration and elite quickness, I would've been a deadly option out of the backfield for my team. Not to mention that I love the idea of potentially being one of the league's top fantasy options on a yearly basis. There is simply nothing like playing a starring role and helping to lead your team to the Ultimus. While I won't be doing that with my current player, I'm fairly certain that my next create will be a running back. It seems like an incredibly fun position to build for and the competition between the league's top 'backs is always fierce. Keep an eye out for Dogwood 2.0!
