OT?: Anyone going to the Patriots Draft Party at Gillette?

...heading down for the 5th year in a row. Felt last year was one of the better years as they leaked out some info of who we were taking before we were about to pick.

If I was anywhere close to Gillette I definitely would. But, California's a few miles away.

It should be free to season ticket holders, but it's not. I believe it's something like $55 to get in the door, which is ridiculous.

Ouch, I was interested until I read this.

Is this worth going to? A few friends and I were thinking of getting together and going down

We went last year and it was a good time so we're headed back this year. The food, drinks and door prizes might not entirely justify the cost but it's along with some of the other activities I found it worthwhile.

Its better to just go to cbs scene and save the money putting it towards food and beverage. There was a huge group all 3 days. We are going saturday.

And where do you think they should put the 60,000 people who want to attend the event for free?
Add in the fact that there's free food, drinks and cheerleaders.... And there's a recipe for a mob scene out of the walking dead...lol

I think it's very costly as well, and won't go because that, and the fact that as pats fans, we most likely will wait until the absolute end for the pats to pick.. Or see them trade out entirely.... Man, what a party! Lol

But I am glad that they charge because if I ever want to go, I know I will at least be able to get tickets

I doubt season ticket holders would bang the place out even for free, but I understand your point. We should at least be let in at half price. I'd go for that but not $110 for me and the lady.

One thing I don't understand about the Patriots is not using the fieldhouse for events like this, or opening it up for pregame festivities, etc.

I wholeheartedly agree.

A deep discount should be given to us ST holders. I would go if that were the case.

If pork3 is going, I'm going...

for the record they have done a lot of free events for season ticket holders and they generally send mass emails and first come first serve until it fills.

That's where my bachelor party was in '98.

At least I think it was '98?

Does anyone go to the predraft party thing?
I think it's next week, and free.
I'm officially joining the fraternity this year (yes crazyyyy pumped), and grabbed the two free tickets. Is it worth goin? Said something about a field visit

given that the pats may not even draft a player on day one lol no i would not pay to be there

heh...uh...so...I just HAVE to ask...you think the Pats are going to trade both 1's and both 2's to move down into the 3rd and 4th rounds?

no just being sarcastic but i do think they will trade one of the first unless someone amazing falls to them like wilfork

yeah..agreed...BB's M.O.

in fact it wouldn't surprise me if he traded a 1 and a 2 to get three or four picks later on...or this year's 1 for another team's 1 next year...seen this movie ten times...I'm starting to figure it out..
