Browns149 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is this part of the NFL plan to hold the draft all over the league? Or is this a one time thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is this part of the NFL plan to hold the draft all over the league? Or is this a one time thing? It's a plan (as there's been bitching for years) to at least move it around to major markets. Radio City Music Hall isn't that huge- so you could make a case you could find a venue in every NFL city big enough to hold it. Chicago- 5 hour drive from Dayton. Fun town, been there several times.The only thing that would get me to go back to NYC is a free dinner at Peter Lugers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 As I understand it as well, the NFL did *not* like being the priority booking, having been at Radio City for years, only to be moved back a month this year. So they're moving it around to capture other markets, but also potentially as a message to Radio City - I wouldn't be surprised to see them back there full time in the future, at their regular date.

miktoxic Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 yeah there were conflicts in scheduling the draft with radio city this past draft so the NFL is giving them the big F YOU. hoorta: yep i think luger's is the best but smith and wollensky comes in at a close second. i'm biased as i used to work a couple of blocks away from grand central and wollensky's was our 'hour-long' ( ) lunchtime eatery/watering hole.......all on the firm's sleeve.

Zombo Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 My first job out of college was with the airlines, I was based out of Newark. On a day off I would fly to O'Hare in the morning (there was a flight leaving every hour, cost me $5), take the L to Wrigley, drink beer in the sun all day in the Wrigley bleachers, take the L back to the airport, fly home and sleep in my own bed. Loved Wrigley. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think it is good....and smart to move the draft around. Why on earth does it need to always be in NYC? They can put TV cameras and phones in any arena in this country. The crowds there are not that big. Hell, they could hold this event at one of the theaters in Playhouse Square, or at Public Hall. Next thing you know they will hold it in LA....and that would be fine.....or..... Maybe they will want to hold it in London to gauge the interest of fans in the UK?

gftChris Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 To be honest, I'm not sure how much of a draw the draft would be over here. People have taken to the game, but I think most don't have a team they really cheer for in my experience. Patriots and Giants seem to be the two, probably based on the recent successes, and I've met a couple of Ravens/Seahwaks fans as well. So since most don't have an affinity for a team, the draft is not so relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
