Anyone ever been to the NFL Draft?

If Luck declares I am going to give it my all to try to get there. I was hoping someone on here had been before and knew how it all worked. Like what time you need to arrive to get a seat, when they let you in, How to deal with all the Jets fans, any info would be great. I have always wanted to go, and now with a chance to really get a star player, seems like the best time to go.

Anyone else think they might go?

It is free to get in. First come first serve. Other than travel, food, hotel, and entertainment that is. I am sure all of that will cost enough though.

You just get the security guard to open the door for you.

I give you a 2.5/10 for that.

Seriously though, lets say there is a lockout. do all these kids just have to chill in limbo for a year before they get drafted into the NFL. Obviously we would still get the first pick, but would that deter them from wanting to go into the NFL since they would have to wait a whole year?

Such a clusterfug

This years draft will still happen regardless. They will just not play until the lockout is over.

Since it's Radio City - dress up like a Rockette - they'll let you in.

and as far as I know, the 11 draft is happening regardless - there's a provision in the old CBA that says it will be.

From that article:

If there is a lockout, it could begin in March. The current labor deal contains a provision that the NFL draft still would be held. But other offseason activities, such as free agent maneuvering and teams' workouts and practices, would be halted.

I know. I was thinking it was very Meat-like when it came out of my mouth.

Will the draftees get to sign a contract under the old CBA rules or would that be in limbo as well?

I am just guessing here, but I would be willing to bet they will not be able to sign a contract unless a new CBA is reached. You draft the player, and have the rights to him, but you cant sign him until the CBA is done. Again just an educated guess. I dont know for sure.

hmmm...

I may try to sneak into a Jets forum, and see what advise they can give. I would hate to get there too late, and not get a seat. That would be a long drive for nothing. lol
