Teams also have their own private boxes where a lot of the higher ups from each team sits. The coaches tend to scatter around with their buddies or huddle in concourses or meeting rooms with prospects. It's basically the NFL's version of a trade show.I guess I'm underestimating exactly how many people the stadium holds and how big the field actually is, and I considered boxes, but it just seems like, with 32 teams, if each team even had a few scouts on the field, if would look a lot more crowded.
When you think about it if each team brought 30 people that is still only 960 people in a building that seats 70k beyond workers. Throw in 1k media members and another let's say 500 employees there really aren't that many people there.

But seriously, most interested fans just watch on TV. Unless it was a friend or relative, or I had a role to be there, I wouldn't travel all the way to Indy to watch the combine.
