Afterwards, the USSRC catered a meal for the more than 90 people involved with the show--teams, cameramen, sound technicians, production crew, and, of course, Phil. The teams were required to take a mandatory rest of 12 hours at the Huntsville Marriott , conveniently located next door to the USSRC, where word is that the whole west wing was rented to them so that no one would know they were there or talk to them or disturb them. Of course, the whole hotel was sworn to secrecy, so there's "no comment" from the staff.
