Has anyone here attended a recent NFL draft?

The reason I ask is next year it's in Pittsburgh which is not far from me. It looks like it could be fun. However, taking into account my senior age and from the distant crowd shots it looked like people were packed like sardines with no port-a-johns in sight.

Then again, I also tell myself that all those people are standing there for hours for nothing else other than to listen to names being read. No viewing of physical activity, no feats of athletic prowess, but names being read aloud.

Thank you in advance.

To me it would be too boring. Especially round 1 gets dragged out so much.

Back when I used to watch college football and read draft profiles, day 3 was the most exciting to me. Since it happens during the day, that's maybe when I would have considered going; less crowded and from TV coverage it seems like more entertainment is going on outside of the draft announcements on that day.

Yeah it drags out too much, it would be too boring without getting blasted. In which case you need a port a john for sure.
