Move over Swanson

I understand the draft is now an entertainment event  
figgy2989 : 1/21/2020 2:10 pm : link
But it is long enough already between picks, now you are going to physically "boat" the pick over to the podium?

People who complain about the picks being announced beforehand are going to be in for a treat when it is taking a half hour before announcements of the next pick after this shit show.

I'm serious too when I say that. This is something straight out of the mind of Vince McMahon.

A few different sites saying players will be brought to the stage via boat.
Hopefully this works out better

I believe the players will be brought to the stage via a boat for the

red carpet introductions and interviews. There are other pictures out there of the main stage which looks similar to past years. The NFL has confirmed that this isn't the main stage where they will make selections.

Correct. The actual draft will be on a regular stage, not in the fountain. The fountain stage will only be used for red carpet stuff before the draft.

As if later round picks being made by Monkeys, Elephants, Dogs, Gymnasts, etc....wasnt enough, who knows what they are gonna come up with for Vegas. The possibilities are endless. I love watching the draft, but damn, I just wanna know who gets picked by who. And if im one of the guys getting drafted, I want either the commissioner or some league exec to announce the pick, not a damn monkey!
i think me and the wife

might head to Vegas during the draft. Anyone else considering going?
What a joke! And we can thanks Knicks/Rangers owner

James Dolan for opening the door for all of this movement. His aborted attempt to do a Broadway-like musical w/The Rockettes a few years back that forced the NFL to find an alternative site & opened the door to moving it to various cities instead of keeping it in NYC!
I have fond memories...

this is unheard of, the draft has become everything the commisioner wanted.
$$$$$$$$$.
I don't know how you follow Vegas.
God I remember just walking over to the Hilton at lunch hour and taking in an hour of the draft
Next year . . .
