I'm confused, what does Flagstaff have to do with anything? Why would the NFL be in Flagstaff ever other than for Cardinals training camp?


Hoover read Skkorps comments. I wasn't suggesting that the NFL does their draft in Flag, just saying that Flag is a beautiful place rigth now, and Green Bays wheather is comparible to Flag's.

Do cities like Green Bay have big enough auditoriums for instance? I dont know if they do. I dont know if its a 'small' convention, I have no clue how many people end up attending, but I bet its a pretty big number, GB may not have convention facilities big enough.
I've never been to Green Bay but if they can handle the throngs of people that come in for a football game,they should be able to handle a draft. If not,Milwaukee is always an option. Green Bay used to play a game,or two, there every year a few years back.

I think if they moved the draft from city to city every year it'd homogenize the attending fans. Why go to NY if you're a chiefs fan when it'll be in your back yard in a couple of years?

If it was held in the #1 picking team's city, I'd love to see it in Dallas every year.

That's actually a great idea.

Dallas #1 would be awesome.

Ah, Wisconsin, I was just taking a gratuitous jab at the Green Bay fans on this board, hoping to stir up some righteous indignation.

I never miss a chance to gig all the transplanted Midwesterners out here. It's a lot of fun.

No, no, no, no. The draft is a crap shoot. Its natural and permanent home should be Las Vegas.

Show girls walking on stage holding up the round #. Free drinks for everybody in the room participating in the gambling. And so on...

Shane gets us all deputized for the weekend and we get passage anywhere and everywhere.

I get to arrest Todd McShay for pandering and impersonating a football analyst. Oh, the temptations are endless there.

Vegas would be an awesome site for the draft!

I'd be there every year!

I hear ya Skkorp, take a look at my avatar, I drive around Wisconsin with that sticker in my back window. I wasn't standing up for WI as I am from the great state of AZ. I was just refering to the wheather info. It's really not that cold here. That why the reference to Flagstaff, as it's usually colder there.
