wondering how the maga boycott of draft sponsored by Bud Light will go?

They fired the VP responsible for it. MAGA got their scalp and I’m sure they are back to pounding bud light pounders.

Ya, looked cool on TV. I haven't got a good look of the stage, but I think the green room may look better.

The A10 warthogs that did the flyover at the draft were circling around 75th st from Waldo to Metcalfish for 20 minutes before the flyover. I snapped this extremely elite gE exclusive picture of one of them.

Union Station looks great actually from the desk angle on espn

The WWI memorial looks good when they pan out from the stage, too.

The audio on TV makes it seem like the crowd is pretty quiet. On TV it sounded 10 times as loud when they used to do it in NYC indoors.

Great day 1 with Felix capping it off.

I was downtown/at the draft all day yesterday. Was a really good time but man it was a lot of walking to get there.

yeah it's weird to have to wrap around to the back from downtown. It makes sense to have people enter that way due to that north lawn potentially getting too full like it did yesterday but annoying to start off that way. Streetcar extension just a year (2?) too late would have really helped.

Went to the draft last night and it was alot less crowded than thursday night. Some of the best people watching I have ever experienced.

Met these two 40ish year old women next to us wearing 49er's shirts who came down from Des Moines and worked in insurance. I was thinking "Hmm, these people are way too normal for the nfl draft" and then their husbands came back from getting beer and one had neck tats and casually mentioned prison.

I was there for about an hour then went to the crossroads and spotted the mayor of KC holding court at King G so of course I creeped and grabbed a pic across the bar.

So Q.

I've been down there both days and really not excited to go today but got another friend who hasn't been there and it's so nice out. I'll have a deep cut K-State reference on if you spot it, probably me

Phil Titola · « **Reply #13421 on:** April 29, 2023, 05:07:35 PM »

Today may have been the best draft day. Less crowded for the draft stage area, great weather, just a general fun party atmosphere. Only bummer was no Deuce selection by KC.

We made it down as well and walked around to check out the festivities with no real plan to stay very long. But as we were leaving, we ended up getting to sit in the VIP section because they were trying to fill empty seats.

went yesterday, very enjoyable. perfect weather helped. it didn't feel nearly as crowded as i expected, i figured more people would show up saturday even if it was the later rounds. the set up was really cool.

4 miles away and expecting a surge? Okay.
