MasterStrategist Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Anyone travelling in to Pittsburgh for the upcoming draft? I'm in the Burgh, unfortunately away on that Thur/Friday for work --- but bought the Main Theatre tickets for Saturday. Assuming we will have a sizeable "Mafia" crowd, always do in Pitt 3 Quote
US Egg Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Pirates are away for the duration, obviously expecting throngs. Always had fun on my road trips there. Quote
zevo Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Went to the draft in Detroit. It was a good time. Thinking of making the trip to Pitt Quote
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Does Iron City make a draft beer? Is it as bad as Blatz? 🤔 Quote
Kirby Jackson Posted March 4 Posted March 4 (edited) I’m not going to make it but enjoy!! I went to day 3 in Cleveland a few years ago with my brother-in-law. We kept moving closer and I got all excited as the Bills were on the clock (only remember seeing them make one pick in the few hours we stayed). A fan steps up to the microphone and I am locked in!! “With the 161st pick, the Buffalo Bills select - Tommy Doyle, Offensive Tackle, Miami of Ohio.” Back to the beer garden we walked and that’s my fondest memory of Tommy Doyle.

falgobofu Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Where did you get the tickets? I have put in the request with NFL One Pass, thought that was the only way to purchase. Thank you in advance Quote

Going to stay until Monday to see the best mlb stadium in the league, pnc park too 1 Quote
BillsPride12 Posted March 4 Posted March 4 I was thinking about it before. Would be a fun time. But right now I'm more locked in with the Sabres finally making it into the playoffs that I don't want to chance going away for that weekend. Quote

Assuming we will have a sizeable "Mafia" crowd, always do in Pitt I'll be there. This will be my 25th draft, but my first time visiting Pittsburgh. Arriving on Wednesday, and leaving on Monday. Staying about 20-30 minutes away from the stadium in Monaca. 3 1 Quote

gonzo1105 Posted March 4 Posted March 4 I’m as huge a draft guy as there is and if it was still the 90s in an auditorium with seating where I could see everything I’d be all in on doing it yearly. Now that it is an outdoor venue where I might barely or not see the stage at all I have zero interest in being a mile away from the draft process nor spending thousands of dollars on VIP seating so I could stand in a mosh pit when I can sit at home and get 3 days of coverage and analyzing of picks 1 Quote

Yeah it's a "once in a lifetime" thing to go all in for the VIP, especially Thursday. Saturday isn't a bad deal, but also rounds 4-7 Quote
RyanC883 Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Live here, def planning on going. Iron City beer is available on tap, but it's not great. Lots of good micro-breweries around here. Also Yuengling widely available. 1 Quote

Cheapest day, less people care in general and it’s a scouts day so I’d be down for that more and Saturday is the longest day so I’d get the most bang for my buck on food and drink 2 Quote
