Started with ESPN covering strictly the first round, and that was when the Draft was held on Thursday in the afternoon. Then the Draft moves to the weekend. ESPN still would primarily cover the first round, but would give some second round picks as well. They would add the crawl at the bottom of the screen updating us on every draft pick into the next day, when the draft lasted 12 rounds. Then with the addition of ESPN 2, they decide to cover the entire draft. The draft gets shortened to 7 rounds, and NFL Network comes around and we have two stations covering it. The draft gets moved back to Thursday, except it's aired in prime time and becomes a 3 day event. Now the draft is a traveling circus, going to a different city each year. Hundreds of thousands of fans show up to be a part of it. Now for the first time the draft will be held inside a football stadium and aired on regular network television. where do you see this evolution heading?

After being there and seeing the draft being held in a stadium, I just don't know how they can go back to smaller venues. There were thousands of people there for Day 1, it was nearly filled to capacity, from what they allowed. Day 2 had a very good sized crowd and Day 3 was a more mild sized crowd. I loved that they had the "Inner Circle" of fans down on the field, and I think that they may have to continue using that format for the fans. What I do not like is how difficult it has become for fans to get tickets. I understand that there are only so many tickets available, but there has to be another way than just lotteries and radio/television station giveaways. If not, at least make sure that they are given away early enough for people to make plans to go. I talked to a few people who said that they had won tickets and did not receive them until a few days before the draft. Gotta do better than that.
