DoleINGout Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Nashville was like a block party in the downtown/Broadway Street with a huge stage. It was basically just show up and stand then get in through the app close to the stage. Pretty cool once you got in. Dallas it was half the stadium seating with the stage inside and every seat was good IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically once your number comes up on the waiting list you have a window of time to check in using the app. All for free. The sooner you are there and download the app and join the list then the sooner you will get in. It is just fun to visit somewhere new and mingle really. You'll have fun regardless if you're into the prospects and follow the draft. What is the app called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I <3 Faulk Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I'll be at this upcoming draft. Vegas is close enough that it doesn't matter if the Rams have a pick or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I was there in Nashville. It was totally free there, at least. Fun as well, until the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I've never been to the draft, but if they have it in Chicago again some day (or even better, in Minnesota) I would probably go - especially if we could get a group from Football's Future to meet there and hang out together. One thing I wish is that they would go back to 15 minutes between picks in the first round. When it's only 10 minutes it seems to go by too quickly. We spend so much time researching prospects, looking at mock drafts, etc., leading up to the big event it's nice to savor the experience.

Didn’t 650,000 people show up to the draft last year in Nashville? Very good chance I go again this year as I went to Nashville last year. I was very quick on the app - got top 50 out of the thousands of people around. It wasn't seating though you stood in team specific areas. So we had to stand on a Raiders logo with other fans. If you're fast on the app you're gonna get a good spot. I had a great time. Mid way through the first round they randomly selected my friend and I to move to the seating in the front, but I had to sit with the 9ers because I was with my 9er friend and he had a team shirt on. We got bobbleheads and stuff and sat about 50 feet from the stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC33 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Went back in 2013 when it was still in NY - One of the cooler sporting events I’ve ever been to. Found out I was sitting next to EJ Manuels aunt when she burst out in tears when he was selected. Also spent some time talking with Sheldon Richardson’s cousins who told me “Sheldon gon love New York, Sheldon love to party!”. Mixed emotions hearing that as a Jets fan lol. Crazy atmosphere, would highly recommend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quick do you have to be on the app, and when I Say quick, I'm talking about what day do you have to be on the app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
childofpudding Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I went both years it was in Chicago and took my son. We only went to the draft itself one of the years on day 2. All the stuff they have around the event was a lot of fun and much more appealing to my kid. I'd say it's worth going whether you get into the draft itself or not. It's a fun atmosphere and all the fans from all different teams were cool in our experience. Even more fun for my son and me was going to the combine in Indy. You sign up in advance and then they contact you if you get free tickets. They have a bunch of other things going on in another venue too, like the bench press. You can see the Lombardi trophy, see all the championship rings, and so on. Plus you end up rubbing elbows with a lot of coaches and media types in a casual setting if you just go to any breakfast place close to the stadium. Not as much of a party as I'm imagining the draft in Vegas will be, but a lot of fun for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the day of as in, you download the app, you hang out near the draft area and at 12pm noon you press a button on the app to "get in the virtual line". I pressed it like to the second the clock hit noon. And yes basically to get pulled up to the VIP area. They don't want you on camera if you are wearing the wrong team's clothes. Like they put you or seat you in areas with your team so they can point the camera at the fans when the pick is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too far from Vegas, Would I be too late to be put in a section that would potentially be on TV when the team Picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
