Hi All,

Been trying to find some information about the 2007 Rookie draft. There are a few of us at work that are talking about going (at least day 1). The problem is every time I search for information, I keep getting Mock drafts, etc.

Can anyone help me out.

Edit:

found this on the charger.com website

When: April 28-29, 2007

Where: Radio City Music Hall in New York City

I went to the Radio City Music Hall website and did not see it listed though. :goodposting:

also found this, but it could be based on last year:

NFL Draft Schedule and Tickets

For those of you thinking about attending the NFL Draft in person, the NFL has finally released information on how to obtain tickets to this year's event. As in the past, tickets will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis at the box office on the day of the draft. However, local ordinances prohibit lining up on the sidewalks directly in front of or around Radio City Music Hall. Fans may line up on the morning of the NFL Draft at the direction of Radio City personnel. Fan entry will take place at the "Carriage Door Entrance" located on 50th street between 5th and 6th avenues. Doors will open at 11 a.m..

And this commentary from someone who went last year.

My buddy and I went to the draft last year in NYC and while the excitement of the fants is terrific, and the atmosphere is fun…the NFL does an absolutely terrible job of making this event “fan friendly”. The NFL does gives out about 35 % of the tickets to the media/ corporate sponsors before the event, leaving 65 % for the true fans. Last year the NFL claimed that tickets would not be dispersed until 9:00AM…well people were lined up at 3:00AM in the morning and guess what ….the NFL gave those fans tickets ! There were thousands of people there, way too many to fit in Radio City Music Hall. And if the draft starts at 12:00,and they don’t let you in til 11:00, then you wait in line hoping to get in, find out you won’t ( after the draft starts ) and are left scrambling to find a place to watch the draft. My advice ? If you’ve never gone, and are a true fan, it’s worth the experience…just be prepared to wait in line (i.e. bring your laptop, a good book, and be prepared for the weather ).

I have nothing for you but make sure if you do get there, the Jets will boo whomevcer they pick in the first round....

 
Search here for NFL Draft, not Rookie Draft. And I think nittanylion has connections there and he was involved with Bloom in getting a group together.

 
get there friday early evening, wait in line until midnightish, get your free day one ticket, otherwise you will be gouged by a scalper, or not get in at all.

Day 2 - just show up at 7 or 8 am, you get in easy and get a good ticket. Stay til the last pick and you get to sign up for a free reserved day one ticket for the next draft.

hope to see you there.

I think there are four of us going....sounds like we should leave for NY right after work. So they hand out the tickets at midnight...guess they figure if you are there that early, you must be a serious fan. LOLSo there is no way to get tickets early...hate to make the trip up and not get in.
