turftoe Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 This year I would like to attend the draft in person. Is the draft going to be at Radio City Music Hall this year? I've heard that it is on a first come, first served basis but would like the inside scoop if any of you have first hand knowledge. Thanks in advance.
In space no one can hear Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Last year it was at Radio City Music Hall, but the year before it was at the Jacob Javits Center, the year before that it was at the Madison Square Garden. Tickets are first come first serve and free. You have to get there really, really early and wait in line.
scorp15 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I have been to the draft twice, both times at the Garden. The first time we walked up at 10:00 AM got a ticket (free) and went in at 11:00 AM it was great. That was the year we drafted Mike Williams. The last time ( Lee Evans & JP Loseman were drafted) we went it was a pain in the arse. We went to Broadway show on Friday night ( Insure the domestic tranquility) When we were coming home from the play ( 11PM ) one of my kids noticed a line at the Garden. The found out that they were opening at Midnight to give out wrist bands for the draft. I took my wife back to the Hotel and the kids got in line. We got Wrist bands about 1:30 AM and they said that the wrist band would guarantee you a spot if you were back by 6:00 AM. We went back to the Hotel to get some sleep and then back to the Garden.They let us in at 6:00 AM , but kept us in the hallway so we slept on the floor/ hung around till about 11:30 when they let us in to the Theatre at MSG. In just a few years it went from being all die hard fans to mostly corporate "guests" who had tickets a head of time and got the prime seats. The free open to the public seats were only about 20% of the crowd. It was still interesting and a good time, but not as mcuh fun as in the past. Good Luck if you go.
