dhitter 1,424 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 As I've said....went to the draft when it was held in Nashville a couple years ago. We had an absolute blast at the NFL Experience and the draft itself was pretty awesome. Got to see Mahomes being interviewed on ESPN. I highly recommend anyone go and immerse yourself in it. azchief21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got codes which they scanned at the entrance and they gave us bracelets. You have to wait within a certain time frame of the draft in order to register. It's easy but you have to be on top of it.
