Anyone going Thursday? You just have to show up early right? Tix are free correct? Thanks for any info!
You have to show up the nite before and wait on line to get a bracelet / wristband. Then you can get in the next day,,,,,yes they are free,,,,,,
I will be going day one and maybe day two. You have to wait in line on Wed starting around 10pm-12 midnight.
Is that how it is now? I went in '06 (Brick and Mangold draft) and got there at 6 am and was one of the first people to get a bracelet. It's an awesome experience. Lot of NFL names just strolling along in the building. Remember seeing a few pros and radio personalities like Mike and Mike.
6am wow,what time did they hand them out? They say you can't start waiting till 10pm, last year I got there at 6pm and waited till 12.
As soon as I got there, there was a guy handing out bracelets. It seemed so shady, but as soon as we left a group of Jets fans were right behind us. Maybe we went during a good year. Getting into the place was a nightmare. We got online 2 hours before the draft and we still ended up being one of the last few to be let in. We decided to walk around the city for a bit to kill time which ended up being a bad move.
Yeah, I am probably going to attend my first NFL draft. Getting there around 5 or 6 is a good time to wait right? How is the line set up? Should I bring like a chair or something?
It was much better on Saturdays. For people who actually have to work this couldn't suck more..unless maybe if you live on the upper east side.
I'm a little old school and prefer the Noon start on Saturdays, Rd 1-3. Sunday at 11 AM, Rds 4-7. Now it's all about ratings and the all-mighty dollar.
Yes, arriving between 5 and 6pm will be ok. Keep in mind you will be there till midnight. They will not let you set up a chair so leave it at home.
I went to the draft the last 3 years. Your fine with getting there around 8pm to wait online, anyone who arrives earlier then that is wasting there time.
