Has anyone gone to the draft?

[Future]

A few of my friends and I are going this April.

Wondering if anyone has some advice on getting tickets. I'm told its first come first serve, but does anyone know what time we should get there, where to go, etc.?

Thanks

Weren't they planning on moving the draft out of New York? It was moved from somewhere to Madison Square Garden for a few years and then to some convention center last year. Wasn't there talk of it moving to different cities like the Super Bowl?

Hey I'm going too!!! Maybe I'll see ya there. I'm pretty sure you gotta wait outside for tickets to get in, unless you can somehow get some somehow. I dunno though. I might be wrong.

i went to the draft in 04 and 05...basically the tickets are free but u have to sleep outside in line to make sure you get a ticket

It will be the longest day of your life lol.

But they were great experiences... I meet lots of players and interesting fans of all teams.

I went last year but I had the luxury of livng on 44th street two blocks away and right next door to 30 Rock where i used to work. So at five am I grabbed a ticket and went back to bed, they weren't even lining up until about 9 I believe, i got in and took my seat in the balcony and stayed for two rounds.

Took pics of Bobby carpenter being drafted, was disappointed and shocked when they took Fasano because I didn't realize they intended to run a two TE set, they still didn't use him much anyhow.

That ate up about 6 hours and I had enough and left. it was interesting, do it atleast once, once is enough for me however.

Mario Williams got booed by Jets fans but they boo their own picks.

It was interesting to see the satellite delay on ESPN, which was up on the big screens as Tagliabue would announce a pick and about a second or two later you could see him on TV doing it again.
