Nooooooooooooooooooooo![/Jets Fans]

 

[ChrisCooleyFan]

Bring it to New Orleans

 

[RC94]

I prefer to watch it from home anyway.

 

[Ron_Mexico]

Los Angeles ?

 

[Kraft...]

I think it would be cool if they moved it around every year, maybe 10 cities on a rotating basis

 

[massraider]

Las Vegas is the correct answer. I can just see the chubby 40-year old men wearing their Freeman McNeil jerseys piling into the Caesar sportsbook:

"50 bucks on Isaiah Stanback, to the Steelers in the 5th!!"

It'd be a whole new betting ritual.

This would be my suggestion. Rotate it among different cities every year like they do the Superbowl.

Las Vegas would be irony - seeing how the league views gambling.

I agree as well.

Yeah, but why limit to 10 cities or whatever. The requirements of the Draft are no where near the requirements of the Super Bowl so every NFL city is a possibility. Rotate it through all 32 of them so each team's fans get a taste or mayb just through the cities that don't get the Super Bowl.

 

[Will]

Los Angeles ?

Can I stay at your house Syd? I'll bring the beer.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Man, can't lose the Jets fans - it's the only time they are actually likable and enjoyable.

They should move it the new Giants/Jets stadium when it opens <g>

I don't care how many cities it rotates to.

Me neither. Just give us other ordinary fans in other cities a chance to go and experience it.

We'll be boozing it up Santa Barbara style, DNS.

Yeah where else can they gather a group large of Italians booing at the picks?

 

[bcr8f]

A GAMBLING boat on Lake MICHIGAN?

 

[Sinrman]

Why not rotate it from year to year among each NFL city?

Philly

Worked pretty well for the NBA...

 

[Sheriff66]

Team that wins the SB gets to host it the following year, so it would be Pittsburgh this year and the Colts next year...

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[/Jets Fans]

Fixed -- I mean, come on. If they're gonan do something, it's boo.As a Jet Fan, I know -- we have practice booing at the draft. Years and years of it.

 

[ROCKET]

I actually e-mailed the NFL a couple of times the last few years and suggested they think about moving it around from city to city. Now if they'll just consider my bikini cheerleader idea for the balmy August preseason games.

 

[BassNBrew]

NC if they want access to good BBQ. Memphis if they prefer a puddle sauce with a hint of meat flavoring.

 

[Ilov80s]

Whatever city has the #1 pick can host the party.

I like that quite a bit.

Go Lake Express!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....or in a van down by the river!!

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

This draft is brought to you this year by the team who tanked the best and by that city's Department of Tourism.Tank you very much.

I'm gonna read sarcasm into that. I can't imagine anyone would actually tank a season for the meager income the draft brings. As was pointed out -- we ain't talking the Super Bowl here...

That would put it in Oakland the next 10 years. They asked if they could have it at my house. I told them that I would have to get a lot more card tables and TV trays.
