------ Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I read last year's thread on the draft party but couldn't find the answer to my question I had. As for autographs , can adults get them or is it just for the kids? I was thinking of springing for an authentic helmet and bringing it to get signed by whoever the legends are that show up. I've never gone to a draft party before (virgin), and I'm looking forward to my first time. I sure wish Uber was already here so I could enjoy free beer without having to worry about getting back to Grand Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I was there in 2009. Don't recall many autograph ops. But I do remember the collective groan when we drafted Aaron Maybin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I went last year, no players but Rex came out and gave a little speech. Steve Tasker was walking around. A couple years ago my parents went and got a picture with Stephon Gilmore who was walking around. So I think it's different every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017   my invite says it's in the fieldhouse  maybe the free beer is in the indoor club lounges ? Not sure where it all is. It might even be a sectioned off area. I haven't been in years. It used to be in the Kelly Club and those areas; one year it was at Dave and Busters. It has been in the fieldhouse and I think on the field too if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the table Karlos Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) I read last year's thread on the draft party but couldn't find the answer to my question I had. As for autographs , can adults get them or is it just for the kids? I was thinking of springing for an authentic helmet and bringing it to get signed by whoever the legends are that show up. I've never gone to a draft party before (virgin), and I'm looking forward to my first time. I sure wish Uber was already here so I could enjoy free beer without having to worry about getting back to Grand Island. I went a few years ago. Gilmore draft. They had four players available(mario, Levitre, Sanborn,and someone I can't remember) for autographs and everyone was allowed to get one. They had a tour of the field house locker room and towards the end they had a table set up with the players. They had tours of weight room as well. A few old players and a sports collectable place selling stuff(I got 3 autographed game balls for $25 each). After we picked Gilmore, Chan came out and talked about the pick for a min.   my invite says it's in the fieldhouse  maybe the free beer is in the indoor club lounges ? we had free beer in the field house.

Hammered a Lot Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It is a different party for the club and suite holders (with the free beer). They just recently opened it up to everyone else but not everyone gets the free beer. What do you mean they recently opened it up to everyone else? It's always been open to everyone, just on different days. First day of the draft for people who have suite and club seats, second day for everyone else.I read last year's thread on the draft party but couldn't find the answer to my question I had. As for autographs , can adults get them or is it just for the kids? I was thinking of springing for an authentic helmet and bringing it to get signed by whoever the legends are that show up.

I sure wish Uber was already here so I could enjoy free beer without having to worry about getting back to Grand Island. If your going on Thursday, I think the autographs you want to get are Pinto Kennys, and TBDHOFers RRich, Lancaster Steve and Hammered a Lot. They very rarely sign autographs so if they sign you could have something very special for your collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
