2017 NFL DRAFT - APRIL 27-29 2017

[Rome]

Ok, so I'm seriously considering attending this retard-fest next year, and since it's never too early to plan for these things, I'll start this now and see where it leads.

As I understand it the draft is to be held on the Franklin Parkway with the Art Museum being suggested as the focal point of the festivities.

Who's planning on going, are we planning on getting our shtein on, etc?

Let's do this shtein.

where did you see that the draft was going to be held on the parkway....thats where the fan fest is going to be from what ive heard....no way an nfl draft is being held outside

I heard it will be so the picks walk up the steps after they're announced.

they could build a large amphitheater on the parkway and use the AM as a backstage area for media and families and what not

or the AM steps thing is just a photo opp and the actually draft will take place at the convention center or the walnut st theater or something

lol what....i cant tell if you are joking?

if you arent it seems to have disaster written all over it....i just cant see the 30 team entourages sitting outside underneath an ez-up making picks....not sure how the lighting would work either and the broadcasting of it...seems like camera angles would be a problem...weather would be a huge issue if its bad

i thought the parkway was going to be the philly version of 'draft town' that chicago held in grant park and the draft itself would be inside somewhere

[PhillyPhreak54]

No I'm not joking

That's what I heard some NFL official say on the radio

[ice grillin you]

he had to have been joking

The NFL is all about making reasonable, sensible decisions, so I'm with IGY on this one.

I heard it will be so the picks walk up the steps after they're announced.

They should put the podium at the top of the Art Museum steps, shut down the BFP circle and have all the players sit there.  It's never too early for conditioning drills.  Also, farg the fans and cage them into that parking lot in the middle of the circle...behind that big ass statue that would block their view. 

Oh, and I'm most definitely IN on this one.  We should definitely organize some sort of big ass tailgate or something.  Well, not so much that we should organize anything.  Havas just needs to tell us where he's parking so we can all show up and drink his booze.

lol....no chance im going anywhere close to that clusterfarg

if its being held indoors and i could get a ticket which i wont be able to id go but im not sitting on the parkway with a bunch of drunk meathead nfl fans to "watch" the draft

[Sgt PSN]

^^Not a real fan^^

i've coincidentally been in chicago for the draft the last two years, spent like 25 at the fan fast and was done with it. seems like it's a ton of fun for kids though.

it is a pretty cool atmosphere though.

i'm about to start a george clinton and p funk show / phillies game / eagles game bender in a few minutes.
