Has it occurred and has anyone been drawn for tickets??
 
I thought you meant like the NBA.... it is a great idea and would eliminate tanking

All 20 non-playoff teams would be drawn at random but the most you could move up is 10 spots

Say this year DAL had 19..... if the were drawn first they would move up to 9

They could do the Lottery at halftime of the ProBowl to boost ratings

250k that Philly had last year will be pretty hard to break. Philly was a great location as its part of the Tri States and very easy to get to. You figure , its close to Jets, Giants , Bills , Commanders , Panthers. THen of course random fans of teams that live in those areas as well. Outside draft in Center City Philly had the room too

I thought this as well.
I would rather have a college recruiting system though. Any player would have the right to negotiate with any team.

It's all over the people who got tickets, like me, have been informed by email.

But... I'm allowed a guest and have no one to take in with me.

Overly optimistic. Record already fell.
They had over 300 thousand apply for tickets.

It's just limited to what the venue, and how it's set up, can hold.

The NFL also has their NFL expirence going on at the stadium the three days of the draft.
 
I enter the lottery but didn't win. Some ppl are already selling tickets on stub hub.

True.

We probably should Crisco our poles for all the Philly fans going to this year’s draft. The one good thing about Philly fans coming in, they’ll eat all the horse manure which will save our Ozone from unnecessary methane and Jerry from having to pay for the clean up.

So thank you!

250k is certainly a CRAPLOAD of people, but it'll be easily broken. Eagle fans will mobilize--their Holy War is "winning" on Dallas' turf. It'll be like The Crusades! Of course, Dallas fans will be up for the challenge, and the media will be salivating over the potential drama. Rating$, baby!

You can have your own lotto to take someone. :laugh:

Or better yet, put an add on Craigslist. See if any women want to go. I see that quite a bit...someone with an extra ticket asking if a woman wants to go to a Rangers, Cowboys, Mavericks or Stars game. I wouldn't go as far to do that, but seen it often.

When I went to Cowboys games and had no one to take. Well I always had someone to take, but I always asked a female friend over a male friend. When I was not dating anyone that is. But some female friends would get PO'd when I asked one and not the other...may as well taken a stranger. :lmao2:
 
This draft has gotten so big I don't even want to be there. Thousands of idiots from various fan bases, tailgating all morning then waiting hours between picks? No thanks.

Lucky guy! Let me know if you don't have a taker for it. Even if you do, let me know where you'll be before you go in. Maybe get a chance to meet up at a tailgate outside beforehand. I understand there will be some good tailgates on the outside. If anybody knows of any, please share!

That would be a disaster and clearly tanking isn't a big issue in the NFL.

Both Cleveland and San Francisco showed that. Even though Cleveland didn't end up winning a game, it wasn't for a lack of trying.

The Niners all but had 2nd wrapped up, yet they put Jimmy G out there and went on a run with no shot at making the playoffs.
