After the Q&A the ladies were divided into four groups for their tour of the stadium. Each group visited the same parts of the stadium.

From there they received tours of the Player's Lounge, Locker Room, Weight Room and Trainer's Room. Players and staff were stationed in each area for questions and answers.
